Hi, I recently built a custom pc and used a processor from my old pc so I want to upgrade it. Specs:

Corsair Carbide Spec Series - 01

Gigabyte 78LMT-USB3

WD Caviar Blue 1TB HDD

Samsung Dvd writer

Cooler master fan

Corsair 500w psu

Amd Radeon sapphire 7770

Amd Athlon II x3 425



I was thinking of getting this but (I don't know if it is compatible and) if there is anything else within that price range that is better than this.
AMD FX-6350 Black Edition CPU (AM3+, Hex Core, 3.90GHz, 14MB, 125W, Advanced Bit Manipulation)
Amazon link:

Thanks in advance

Yeah, that motherboard is compatible with the FX processors but download @BIOS first to make sure you have BIOS version F3 or F4.

I would recommend for that build a fx 8350, cheap and does well for the price, it will fit the board. It should work well with your psu but upgrading might not be a bad idea. Also a slightly better cooler might also be something to take into consideration as well! Best of luck!
