if you dont want to upgrade the whole thing to a ryzen system, then put an 8350 in it

you wanna play burn out the board?

 

For that budget id either wait for ryzen 5(or save some more for 7) or get a i5

I did that with a old board. Chuck a 8320 on it at 4.4. Didn't boot a day later.

Id probably get a cheaper b150 board and a i5 6500 or a b250 board and i5 7500. Your paying lots extra on high end boards for features you probably won't use.

So I decided money wasnt important to have any way so I bought a Ryzen 7 1700 and a msi x370 carbon and 32g of ddr4 ram a corsair 600 watt psu thinking about just finishing up and buying ssd and having a new computer and giving my old to my son .
