Heyy there,

Just wondering what the best CPU would be for a Gigabyte GA F2A58M-HD2 would be. Under €150

I took a look here: http://www.gigabyte.com/support-downloads/cpu-support-popup.aspx?pid=4990
And it has a FM2 and an FM2+ section. Does this mean the Mobo can take both?
I have no clue what L2 and L3 caches are or stepping or BIOS versions or things, so I thought it's better I asked for some help.

My other specs are Win. 7, Asus GTX 750 Ti OC, 8GB DDR3, and my current cpu is an AMD A6 6420K.

I would be most appreciative of any help or advice :)
Thanks a lot

Personally, if you plan on getting a better GPU then get an AMD Athlon X4 880K otherwise just go with the AMD A10-7890K

Honestly for a 50 dollar difference I'd just buy this.. and overclock it a bit. Use the 50$ to get a hyper 212 Evo cooler master or something it's like 30 bucks...

Your motherboard is an FM2+ board. Which means it can take both FM2 and FM2+ CPU's. As far as which processor would be best all depends on if you want to use the onboard graphics or just want the best CPU.
