Need help with Upgrading

[MrCool127]

So I want to get a better gaming experience by upgrading but I don’t have money. I was wondering becuase  my cousin is old and maybe it’s holding my gpu back so I was think of getting a pentium G4056. Is this compadable with my motherboard and ram if is is it worth it? Thanks.

Specs:

OS- Windows 10 64bit 

CPU- AMD FX-4300 quad-core (3.8ghz)

GPU-Radeon RX 460 2gb 

Memory- 8gb DDR3 ram 

MotherBoard-GA-78LMT-S2

1TB hard drive 

450 Power Watt Supply

No, can't put an intel cpu into amd motherboard.

you would be better off going with a ryzen cpu rather than the pentium, imo also you can as the pentium is from intel and the current cpu is from amd, intel uses the lga(pins on the motherboard) socket and the amd uses the pga(pins on the cpu) socket. in addition to this, the ram and motherboard would be upgraded meaning that this is not very cheap.

 

if you went with a ryzen you can find a r3 1200/1300/x for a cheaper price and a b350 motherboard to overclock it for more performance, these chips are quad core not "hyper threaded" cpu's so that means that they have 4 actual cores inside compared to the pentium's 2 cores and 4 threads

 

however upgrading to any of these 2 means that you need need ram and motherboard, right now the ram is pretty expensive and for ryzen faster ram is still ideally better, for the intel CPU it isnt as dependent on the ram speed. the best ram speed for ryzen is 3200mhz if you can run that ram speed.if not try to get as high as possible

 

so i also just chekced the bottleneck, and no, the gpu is low end enough that the fx can run it without choking it so i dont think youd need an upgrade.

No it is not compatible. I just recommend waiting and saving more. It is not even worth the upgrade. If you decided to upgrade you would need new motherboard, cpu and ram atleast. Probably even psu.

nope, completely incompatible. which country? whats your budget?
