Compatibility question

[Daan Verhoeven]

I am looking for a new cpu that is compatible with all my specs and won't bottleneck my cpu (on a budget)

If that isn't possible I would like some information in why it isn't compatible and what I should do.

My specs are:

--------------------------------------------

motherboard: FM2A88M-HD+

8 GB of DDR3 RAM

Cpu: A8-5600k @3.7 GHz

Gpu R7 370 4GB OC EDTION

bottleneck in what? what kindoff workloads?

[Aytex]

Are you sure your getting bottleneck?

 

Download MSI afterburner and check your GPU usage

[Castdeath97]

Probably the 860K or the 880K.

Games

Gta 5 And such

In gta my CPU is around 90-100%

While my GPU is around 40%

And that dramaticly decreases FPS

Will that combo with my current GPU and RAM be able to handle modern games 1080p high 60fps?

Yes, i didn't go skylake on purpose cause then you would need to go DDR4

And I doubt it will play games at high, I say medium settings

Yea? and?

Your GPU is holding back from you gaming in high/ultra

But if it's better and cheaper why wouldn't I get the better and cheaper cpu with that mobo you suggested?

no the 6100 is an LGA 1151 CPU but there are many similarly priced mobos

[Daan Verhoeven]

I am looking for a good motherboard - CPU combo that will be compatible and be able to run modern games on high setting 1080p 60fps (on a budget)

My specs it needs to be compatible with:

GPU: R7 370 4GB OC EDITION

8 GB DDR3 RAM

And with ddr3 ram if possible

[nitsuga5124]

I don't think it can play on high but its a good Price/Preformance.

I suggest a:

Core i3 6100 and an Asus h110m-d.

[Daan Verhoeven]

What about medium 60fps 1080p?
