New CPU suggestions

[Deer God]

Can anyone help suggest me a new ADM FX CPU. My current CPU is: AMD FX(tm)-4100 Quad-core 3.6 GH

 

I mostly just use my PC for gaming, but I know that my CPU is bottlenecking, so I've decided to get a new one.

I believe with the mobo I have, I can only use AMD FX sockets. Please correct me if I'm wrong, but my mobo is: gigabyte GA-970A-UD3

Well no point spending more money on FX line either you wait for ZEN because AM3+ is out datated. You will get better performance per dollar by going Intel.

Would it be better to get this CPU, or get a new mobo and intel CPU?

If you can afford it, grab an i5 4460, with a cheap motherboard to go with it. Generally it'll do better since most games don't use more than 1 or 2 cores properly, and the better single core performance will help a lot.

in the long run you're better off getting an intel CPU, but it really depends on how much you want to spend.

Depends on circumstances, budget and what kind of tasks are done on the pc, mate.

That is why i said "but it really depends on how much you want to spend."

 

Considering games won't use more than a few cores in the next 10 years anyway.
