My base rig is a Xeon Mod X5460 with Gigabyte GA-P35C-DS3R (rev1) LGA 775 motherboard 8GB DDR3 1600 MHZ (runs at 1333 Mhz) RAM. I would like to change to never chipset with an AMD FM2+ motherboard since my LGA775 motherboard doesn't have proper DDR3, sata3, PCI Express 3.0 or USB 3.1 support. Since everyone going in to Ryzen hype I managed to find a very cheap MSI A68HM motherboard which has all these (second hand 30$). However I am really really new to AMD. I've never used it before. As far as I researched buying and APU would be really stupid.
So what is the best CPU for this motherboard. Or do you have another Motherboard and CPU combination in mind? I wanna go AMD because firstly I wanna learn about AMD and secondly there is a lot of second hand good materials atm. My budget is very tight so please refrain yourself from offering me Ryzen and/or I7 if you are not gonna donate the hardware yourself. : )
Thank you.
