What CPU should I get?

AliJardak · Dec 4, 2016

So I want to upgrade my CPU but everyone keeps telling me that I need to change my motherboard as well, last year I bought a GTX 750TI (I had a gt 520) and I had problems with the compatibility, the retailer changed my motherboard as well, anyways....I want to upgrade my CPU for better FPS in CS:GO.
I need your help, thanks in advance. Oh and don't care about the price as long as it's a good upgrade.

What are your fps now? This should easily get you above 60 fps in csgo.

Agreed....
A 750ti and i3 2100 is heaps for CS:GO.

I still want the CPU upgrade, no one is answering my question.
And it's not heaps, I get alot of FPS drop

Okay then, what's your budget, i'll put a list together for you.

CS:GO is not well-threaded. Many new games would benefit greatly by moving from a 2-core i3 2100 to something like a 4-core i5 3570 or i7 3770, but the extra cores will sit unused in that particular game. I see two options:

1) Go with a new i3 6100 + inexpensive motherboard + DDR4, will probably run you about $200-225. The newer i3 will have 30-40% better performance per clock and ~20% higher clockspeed, resulting in something like a 66-75% performance improvement.

2) Drop in the highest clocked CPU that will fit in your current motherboard. An i5 3570 or 3770 have a ~5% performance per clock improvement and a 25% clockspeed advantage, which would result in a ~33% performance improvement. This will cost about the same, but performance would probably be better than the newer i3 in other games which can use the extra cores. Plus, you don't have to wipe your Windows installation.

do you have a Dell prebuilt computer? if so, what is the model?
changing components on pre-builts can be tricky if they are using different designs.

This is my Motherboard, the problem Is I get FPS drop constantly, I think it's the processor messing up with the performance.
250-300$ Budget
