Last year on Xmas I got my 430watt Thermaltake PSU and R-6670 Core Edition GPU. Now I believe that I was bottlenecked because of my crappy CPU which is a AMD Athlon II X2 235e Dual. Anyways so yesterday 5/16/14 my friend gave me his GTX 550 Ti because he doesn't need it anymore, and now I KNOW I have a bottlenecked PC. Now my question is what CPU could go with a AM3 socket and with a 550 Ti. Here's my PC model: ET1331G-03w.

Also my budget is around 100 bucks, 110 bucks being the highest. Thanks!

That's the best I could find for the price. You won't get much of an improvement, but for those old AMD CPU's performance isn't great for modern games.

If you want to see REAL improvement, this uses a newer artitechture and has six cores: http://www.ebay.com/itm/AMD-Phenom-II-X6-1055T-6-Core-2-8GHZ-HDT55TFBK6DGR-/390840685947?pt=CPUs&hash=item5affeb957b

Hope that helps!
