i am upgrading my cpu from a athlon II x3 450, my motherboard takes am3 cpu, what im wanting to know pretty much, is what is the best cpu i can get for a am3 motherboard or a good enough one that would be a upgrade from the athlon II x3 450, i think the athlon is bottlenecking my gpu, my gpu is a radeon hd 7770, and it would also be helpful for whatever cpu that would be a good upgrade from this what would be a good heatsink for it was well, i have a very odd motherboard its a 04gjjt, its heatsink is like a intel one it uses LGA775 screw type mounting 92mm , so i need a heatsink that has that to fit on my mobo any help would be very helpful
