Hey Guys,

I have recently bought an r9 290x from a friend but I can only get 40fps out of BF1 and about 150 out of csgo (He got about 300-400 with his i7) This is probably due to my awful APU (AMD A8-6600k) I was wandering if there were any APU's with a better CPU that will remove my bottleneck, or should I just buy a second hand 4th gen i5? Thanks

Anything that works in an AM2, AM2+, FM2, FM2+, AM3, AM3+ sockets is pretty much terrible for gaming...
