Preferably the cheapest and am3+, thanks. And will this build be obsolete in a couple years?

-gigabyte 78lmt usb3 (or something like that sorry)
-4g ddr3 ram
-msi gtx 1060 3g
-nzxt s340
-450w power supply
-and fx 6300

I'm upgrading my the parts should get her tomorrow, the hardware that's diffrent is

-gt 740
-amd fx 4300
-old case

I know the cpu I'm getting will bottleneck a little bit but in a year about it can upgrade it so I have no bottle neck... but I might as well get a new gpu at that point too...

if this build is for gaming i would highly recommend getting more than 4g of ram, and i used the fx6300 for awhile before upgrading to an i5-6600k. it is not a bad cpu but depending on what games you play it may under perform. One example is on H1Z1 with the fx-6300 i would get 30-60fps then with the i5 reaching 70-150 with a msi gtx 1060 6gb

This thing was obsolete when it came out. The generation before the FX is still faster (for gaming) than every FX that ever existed. There isn't a single FX CPU that won't bottleneck a graphics card. Any graphics card.

[sarcasm]
My tip to you is to go find an old Phenom II 965BE, 955BE, 955, or 945 and a good CPU cooler, and plop that bad boy into your motherboard and overclock to 4ghz.

Actually, don't do this (unless you really want to), but you get the idea. Sounds stupid, I know, but it actually gets better gaming performance than an FX8350, and is neck'n'neck with the FX9590, while still consuming less power.

All of this also heavily depends on the games you're playing. MMOs in general will murder any CPU, let alone something horribly weak like an FX, whereas DX12 titles and less CPU-demanding games should run just fine.

None of these answer my questions though. I'm pretty damn pissed I got this cpu without research and can't even run watchdogs 2. I just need 1 cpu that won't bottleneck this gpu AM3+

i actually ordered 8 more gigs yesterday. My cpu is fine for gaming it's mainly my ram. My cpu is pretty bad but should run anything decently.
