i need a CPU change to tide me over until i get a new job. budget would be around $100 to $150 maybe. also if any other upgrades are needed let me know. main specs are: 6GB of RAM 500GB HDD and AMD Phenom X4 9850 2.5GHz. any help is appreciated!
that is one of the best am2+ cpu from the phenom I line, but there is some phenom II cpus made for the am2+ socket and many of the am3 cpus are usable on am2+ with a bios update, just check the boards website and supported cpus
