Need help upgrading my CPU

[Lsjreadingpa]

I need help! i want to upgrade my cpu i bought a couple years ago but i don't know what i can buy without it not being compatible with my motherboard. I only have enough money for a cpu so any suggestions to get a new motherboard and a new cpu won't be helpful. I have a GIGABYTE GA-78LMT-USB3 (rev. 6.0) AM3+ motherboard and a AMD FX-4300 Vishera Quad-Core 3.8GHz (4.0GHz) Socket AM3+ 95W cpu. Any help would be appreciated!

list of CPUs you can use on that mobo: http://www.gigabyte.com/support-downloads/cpu-support-popup.aspx?pid=5195

 

the FX-8370 is the best of them but probably won't worth the extra price against the FX-8350

Yeah it is actually pretty good for the price i had it before my I5 that i have now

Don't get anything above the 8350 because they are basaclly overclocked 8350's

 

If your able to overclock that will say

So as long as its a am3+ im good? I just didn't want to buy something that wouldn't work. What would be a decent upgrade from what i have that won't break the bank? I have roughly $100 to spent. Did a 3dmark test and the cpu test was a dismal 5-6fps.

What graphics card do you have? Just so you don't buy a better cpu than graphics card if your only doing gaming on it.

Ok then your fine with upgrading to something around the 8350/8370, Just wanted to check so you isnt using some GT 2000 GPU

Yea for the most part my pc is fairly new but after i ran 3dmark i saw that the cpu test score was just horrible.

With the limited budget i have, what do you think of this AMD FX-6300 Vishera 6-Core 3.5 GHz
