After setting up my new build I have discovered that my computer may be bottlenecking. I upgraded my GPU, PSU and ram. I got a Radeon 7850, 8GB RAM and a 550W PSU. Ever since the upgrade I have been getting frequent blue-screen crashes. I'm starting to believe the cause is my CPU.

That is the CPU I have currently. I don't have a lot of money, so what is the best option for an upgrade that won't bottleneck my system and won't cost a lot of money?

I believe the motherboard I am using is a nForce430 although I can't find it online.

For around $100 you could upgrade to an AMD FX6300. It will fit the socket, but I am not sure if your motherboard will provide enough power to the cpu. What motherboard do you have in your system?

I'm unsure of the motherboard. I bought a cheap eMachine and have been upgrading it. Almost every part has been replaced at this point, so a new motherboard and CPU seems to be the next step.
