Currently i have gtx 1060 and AMD a 7600 and i fel like it bottlenecks it a LOT on csgo i get varige abort 85fps with gtx 1060 and now I want the best cpu for my motherboard that won’t bottleneck Gpu
Ps: price doesn’t matter
 
Solution
Your graphics card is good. I would swap the 7600 for an A10 chip like the AMD A10-7850K. It would save you costs of upgrading to a new platform if you don't want to move on to AM4.

The FM2+ platform means you can only really go up to an A10 processor. May require a BIOS update after installation as well.

What about athlon x4 860k or 880k and fx 8350. Are they good and are they compatible

A general idea of how good those chips are with passmark:

AMD A10-7850k at 5,491
860k at 5,461
880 at 5,578
FX 8350 at 8,946 but all FX chips run on AM3+ so I don't believe they work in an FM2+ board.


herrwizo does have a strong point. I forgot how long ago FM2+ was. My rusty Core i5 2500k from like mid 2011 scores 6,469. With this CPU swap, you'd be getting performance less than this. If cost doesn't matter, please consider upgrading to a newer platform. Ryzen 3 is a very affordable AMD chip to build with right now. Your FM2+ motherboard definitely holds you back. Would hate to see you upgrade and be disappointed.

Thank you. But i litteraturly dont understand anything about motherboard and building a pc. My current specs are 450w power. Gtx1060 3 fans on case 1tb harddrive. Could you find good mother board and cpu that wont bottle my gpu and motgerboard for about 80$ and less you can go a bit higher. And cpu price is important but not tu much max it 200$ max but if there is a lot cheaper its okay. Bicause i dont have a job and i have hard time getting money i am only 15. Thank you so if you can find a set like cpu and mother board for max 250$ thank you but like new parts. Thank you i apricate it.

The Ryzen platform gives you the best options if you are building an affordable gaming PC these days. If I was in your position, I would:

- Grab an AMD RYZEN 5 1500X or AMD Ryzen 5 1400 if you want to save some money. Those CPUs are under 200US.

- Get an AM4 motherboard like the Asus STRIX B350-F GAMING. There are cheaper boards that are AM4. All that matters is that it is AM4. The more expensive ones just have more bells and whistles. These go from 80 to 120US

- Get a 2x8GB kit of DDR4 RAM, or I 2x4GB if you absolutely want to cut costs but 16GB is golden. You need DDR4 to make any modern CPU work. G.Skill - Ripjaws V Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR4-2400 Memory are one option. 190ish for a NICE 16GB set. DDR4 RAM is expensive right now.

- 450 watts should I think on paper be good enough but if you have a superclocked card or experience issues with the new system shutting down, you would want to invest in a higher wattage power supply. I'd recommend a power supply upgrade even before starting up the new system.

The whole upgrade would be about 500-600 on Ryzen 5, but you could cut costs in certain areas. Here is an idea build with a new PSU:
