I did a lot of work scavenging for old PC parts that I had stored in my office that were taken from several places you can't even imagine and I came up with a pretty good setup:
Mobo: ASUS P8H61-M LX2
CPU: i3 2100 @ 3.1 GHz
RAM: 1x4 GB HyperX Fury
GPU: Asus R9 270x (Actually, my cousin got me this one)
PSU: Corsair CX 430
I had some problems with this rig, including a bad ram slot, which, by the way, I posted it here: http://
Another problem is something that was pretty obvious to me since the beggining but I never though how much of a problem it would be. I guess if you saw my specs (and the title lol), you already guessed it: CPU bottlenecking.
I'm trying to figure ways out of this situation, but it seems there are no solutions other than upgrading. Here comes the question: which processor should I get? I wonder if I should get an FX processor, or an LGA 1155 i5, an i3 6100, I don't really know, there are so many options. Considering I can't spend more than $200 (that's really my limit), what is the best bet? I use my PC mainly for gaming (League of Legends, GTA V and BF4) and video editing (Adobe Premiere, After Effects and Cinema 4D)
Any help is much appreciated! Thanks!
