Guys,

I'd like to update the processor in my PC. It has a 990FXA-UD3 MOBO with a AMD FX-4100. I have looked around and see there are lots of choices. Very confusing to me.

I use my PC mostly for games. Particularly Microsoft Flight Simulator which is a resource hog. Frame rates get very low with this set up. I have a good video card (GTX650Ti) but frame rates are too low.

I need a recommendation. What's the best processor I can get that will work with this MOBO?

Thanks!
