Hello everyone, I just wondering my motherboard can fit in which kind of CPU.
Here's my motherboard:BIOSTAR Group B85MG(SOCKET 0)
My CPU is i3-4130
I have a 500W PSU
I appreciate.
 


i suggest getting the i7 4770 instead

while it's at the end of life, haswell CPUs are still pretty decent for now and can still last few more years before needing a replacement
my friend had the i7 4770k (yes it's the unlocked version so he can OC it) and he use it with 1080ti just fine, this proves that haswell are still pretty decent even when u pair it with a new gen GPU (but it's a K version, so don't expect ur normal 4770 will perform like my friend's CPU)
 


Then I don't think that ur I3 will bottleneck it, unless the game is CPU intensive, try to see the CPU/GPU usage to see whether the system bottlenecks/not, getting a CPU upgrade won't yield significant improvement if ur system is already fine
 


Rivatuner only shows FPS?
maybe u haven't set the other option for the On Screen Display
check it on MSI afterburner > option > monitoring
click the data u want to check, then tick the "show in On Screen Display"
