What CPU?

This is my very first time building a custom built PC, I have all of the parts, besides the CPU (and fan). I was looking for help on what to buy. My motherboard has a FM2/ FM2+ socket, however it is just the one that I liked and I can easily change it to fit the socket type of the processor. Thank you for all help in advance.

  1. If you have all the parts, list them so we don't have to guess what you already own.
  2. Budget please.
  3. What exactly do you want for this pc.

If it's fm2+, go for the athlon x4 860k for good price or 880k for the best performance.

The 860k can be significantly overclocked though, but requires a third party fan.

The 880k comes with the wraith amd cooler I think.

Do you recomend a website to buy it from? Also, is there a huge difference between new and used?

@DesomoanGeez... that post is unreadable. Go to edit (the little pencil icon), select your entire post and press the "Tx" icon right by the Size dropdown. And, if you want to be fancy, you can select the parts and press the "dots with lines" or "numbers with lines" right by the "eye" icon.

 

Anyway, if I was you, I'd try to sell that mobo and get something like an H81 + used i3 4150 / 4170. APUs are pretty bad for modern gaming, especially if you have a dedicated GPU.
