I need to upgrade my current CPU which is an old useless Core 2 Duo E7500 @ 3.8 Ghz which simply does not cut it so I need to get a new one with the very limited budget of 100 $.
Any recommendations?
 
Solution
Fx-6300 is better, but g3259 is more affordable. Just make sure have the right socket in your motherboard for the cpu (am3+ for fx 6300 and lga 1150 for g3259).

Im already informed about the motherboard and which one I will get so that is not a problem.
So, between the G3258 or the fx 6300 which one should I get? I found a g3259 at 61$ and a fx 6300 at 95$.
