I need a good gaming AMD processor under 70

sbptsagk · Jun 16, 2013

I am on a strict 200 dollar budget, I spent 100 on GTX 260 and a 550 Watt power supply, and already have RAM and the motherboard scrapped from other PCs, so I need a good processor.

550 Watt PSU
GTX 260 Superclocked
4 GB Ram
???? Amd Processor UNDER 70 dollars

you won't find anything amazingly good for that price, also.... what kind of socket is the mobo? without knowing that it is impossible to tell you what cpu you should get....

What's the socket on the motherboard?
If it's FM2 I encourage you to spend a few bucks more :
$80 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819113329
$85 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819113328

This one is the best around $70 and it's AM3
AMD Athlon II X3 450 Rana 3.2GHz Socket AM3 95W Triple-Core Desktop Processor ADX450WFGMBOX

Surely the two I posted above will perform better(slightly?), but right now everything depends on what kind of mobo you already have.

if am3 or am3+ then it would be worth spending a bit more and getting a phenom II x4

also available is an athlon x4

either way i'd recommend spending the extra 20 bucks on the phenom
