Sadly, I figured out that I have a FM2+ socket type for my cpu. I am wondering what is the best FM2+ cpu for gaming available under 100 us dollars! Also, I have a gtx 1050 ti and looking the least bottleneck possible. Thanks in advance!

Even the fastest FM2+ CPU is still very slow by modern standards, but any FM2+ quad core would still be a fair upgrade. Athlon X4's are just A8's and A10's with the integrated GPU disabled, and are usually cheaper. The 860K is a fine choice but would be equivalent to any A10 7xxx, just in case you can find one for around the same price or less. The 880K is clocked very slightly higher but usually not worth the premium you pay.

Yes the 860K is the best bang for the buck. It's still a relatively slow processor though and will bottleneck a 1050 Ti in CPU intensive games. You should first list your current CPU though, it might not be worth the upgrade if you have a similar quad-core.

I really don't know so any way that I could find out would be great! The only thing that I do know is that the brand is MSI.
