So Christmas is coming up and I need a new CPU, for the past half year I have had a Intel Pentium G2020 and I have been running all my games well enough on my 7770 however I just got BF4 and I can tell my CPU is holding me down.

I want a reasonable CPU upgrade recommendation, I am currently running a asus P8H61-MX r2.0 and I have approximately £150 to spend on a new CPU or CPU+mobo combo although I could go a bit over if necessary, my final need is that if I get a new mobo it must be matx or smaller.

Any feedback would be appreciated :)

Could you send me a link to where I can download this update, and are there any risks in updating a BIOS?

under bios last bios file is 1001. boot into your bios and look at the bios rev on the main screen. to update the bios file on asus you just download and unzip the file. make a copy of the bios file and use the bios renamer. (some bios you have to do this). then go into the bios under advance mode there a bios update tab. click on it and point it to where the newest bios file is and then let it update and reboot. once the system reboots...go back in and check that your running bios 1001. then save the default bios settings...exit and then reboot.
on reboot go back in and check that sata ports set to achi mode and ram set to xmp profile and your done.
