Hi there, my 750k is creating a bottleneck with my 750ti, and would like to upgrade it. I would preferably like to stay on the FM2/FM2+ socket, but i would consider changing. Any advice is appreciated.

Thanks,
Josh.

Budget? I wouldn't recommend investing into a older socket, look into the Ryzen 3 (AM4) platform for a good price/performance upgrade. If you can't afford it atm then overclock your 750K as far as it will safely go and save up until you can afford the upgrade.

My budget is ~£50-100.

Thank you for this! I will try overclocking and see if that helps. Also, I had not considered ryzen, helpful suggestion!
