Hello there
If anyone knows how, I'd like to upgrade my CPU.

I've seen on the net that the A10-6800K (4.10GHZ 4x) has an integrated graphics card.
My question is, can I get a better cpu but without the graphics card?
In my system I already have an R7370 graphics card.

Thanks

The best CPU (not APU) for an FM2 MOBO that I can think of is the 750/760k, but I would just try to upgrade that MOBO+CPU as a whole. If it's not bottlenecking, I really wouldn't mind it, you wouldn't notice much (if any) performance increase.

Wow what a quick reply :)
How do I know if my mobo+cpu is bottlenecking? I see some stuttering while playing, say, Viscera Cleanup Detail which is a game made with Unreal Engine 3. From what I know, that's a pretty big deal, which is why I decided to upgrade everything in my system. My current build is :

OS.........: Windows 10 Professional 64-bit
CPU........: AMD A10-6800K 4.10ghz 4x
RAM........: 16,0GB Dual-Channel DDR3 @ 797MHz (11-11-12-28)
Motherboard: ASUSTeK COMPUTER INC. A88XM-A (FM2+ )
Graphics...: SAPPHIRE RADEON R7 370 NITRO DUAL-X OC 4GB DDR5 256BIT
Storage....: 1863GB Seagate ST2000DM 001-1ER164 SATA Disk Device (SATA)
Os Drive...: 250GB Samsung 750 EVO MZ-750250BW SSD

Thank you in advance.

Oh boo, I thought it was an FM2 socket MOBO, well, then we're all good to go because an 860/880k would be perfect for you. Anyways, you can tell if something is bottlenecking when games stutter (like you've mentioned), do you have MSI Afterburner? If the usage on either the GPU or CPU stay at constant 99+% (on CPU, it'll be the cores that are being used for the program/game)

I checked MSI Afterburner, seems a pretty cool thing. I'd use it to monitor my cpu temps (I don't really know if it's overheating because every sw tells a different thing)... I'm not sure how to use it on a motherboard tho
