Hello everyone, I'm looking for a better processor than the one I currently have (which is quite average according to me: AMD FX 6300) that is "compatible" (so that the graphics card can be utilized at 100% since that's not the case with my current processor which is already running at 100%) with the GTX 1050 TI.

I've looked a bit on the forum and I see that people here know a lot, that's why I'm asking for advice (since I really don't know enough). If possible, a processor for >100€. Otherwise around ~150€.

My configuration:

RAM: 12GB (DDR3)

GRAPHICS CARD: GTX 1050TI

MOTHERBOARD: M5A97_R20 (which is getting old by the way, if you have any advice for me, I'm open)

PROCESSOR: AMD FX 6300.

Thanks, best regards.

    Hello

    If your budget is limited, the only upgrade you can make is to get a better processor; with this motherboard, you can put in an FX 8350, which will be 30% more powerful than your current one.

    Buy it second-hand on Le Bon Coin, not more than €50 or €60. Don’t pay more.

    Alternatively, you would need to change at least the motherboard, RAM, and processor, but then the budget will skyrocket...

    The compatibility of a GPU is not based on a CPU, but on a motherboard. However, since motherboards and GPUs are equipped with the same port, PCI-Express 16X, the issue of motherboard/GPU compatibility has almost disappeared for a long time. As for finding a CPU compatible with your motherboard, it's almost "Mission: Impossible." Perhaps in the second-hand market.
