AsRock FM2A75M w/ an A8-5600k
7850 2gb
8gb ram
i want to know what i should start with upgrading. Nothing to fancy, for example, maybe bf4 at 35-60 max. Processor is what im most interested in, but am curious if my gpu would just bottleneck any good cpu.
I havent built a PC or installed any hardware, so i'm not familiar with any of it. closest ive gotten to is applying thermal paste to a chip.
i understand my motherboard is compatible with FM2 socket, but thats like all i know.
i just ask for a little direction, thank you
 
Solution
the best upgrade you can get with your current mobo would be something like an A10 6800K

Just get a decent intel mobo like the h97 plus from asus with an I5 4690 (or if you want to overclock a similar z97 board with a 4690k)

Or if you can wait with the upgrade go with the 5th gen i5
