What CPU Should I buy?

JakeEdwards_11 · Jul 27, 2013

I'm looking for a cpu around £60-110. I'll be using my computer to record videos with Elgato game capture HD http://www.gamecapture.com. Edit with the sony vegas and render. I will be playing Minecraft, Runescape and Dayz now and then.

What motherboard do you have?

Well, since you aren't specifying Amd or Intel, this is what I'd recommend: http://www.aria.co.uk/SuperSpecials/Other+products/AMD+%28Piledriver%29+FX-6350+3.90GHz+%284.20GHz+Turbo%29+Socket+AM3%2B+6-Core+Processor+-+Retail+?productId=55427&source=skinflint

Should do well in highly threaded applications with that budget.

This is the comp I have http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c03736052&tmp_task=prodinfoCategory&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en&product=5380846 The processor I have is soldered to the motherboard so I have to change it.

Save another 130 pounds or so, then. You'll need a new motherboard, processor, and graphics card. (Most FX mobos have no iGPU.)

Thanks looks decent! I'll have a look at some reviews on it and see what other people say

That's BGA type PC, You Can't Change your Processor...Buy new Processor and New Mobo

You'll have to look up the fx6300 then. The 6350 is a redo of that CPU, but a faster version. Obviously you'll have to get a new motherboard. I'd recommend a 970 chipset, or ideally a 990fx chipset motherboard. Depends on your total budget. Same thing with a video card if you need one.
