[Supercian411]

I currently have a desktop with an amd Athlon x2ii 220 and want to get a gaming pc but low on money and wondered if the other cpus on the am3 socket would be good enough for r6 siege and other games like that .  i will need a new psu a gpu and ram will the upgrade be beneficial price to performance  or should i save and get a completely new pc the gpu will most likely be a 750ti or something cheap. thanks in advance

AMD II X4 975 and 980 are good if you can find them.

I know nothing about AMD CPU's but if u wanted a budget Intel CPU then get the Pentium G3258! For its price its amazing and i overclocked mine to 4.2Ghz

You are probably better off buying a new mobo and cpu because am3 and even am3+ are pretty much obsolete.

If you can find a Phenom X4 or X6, you might be able to play it. But eh.

I think @LokiFire has either one of them

For AM3 platform, Phenom II X6 is pretty much the strongest choice.

The phenom ii would do well enough, the question is, what cpus does your motherboard support.

 

Was this a pre-built store bought pc? If so your upgrade options are likely limited. If not, then if you can find a phenom ii x4 for cheap, then that would be your best bet.
