CPU upgrade from fx-4300

selindsoft · Jan 15, 2019

Hi, i'm planning to upgrade my PC for better gaming performance
My current build is
mobo GA-78LMT-USB3
FX-4300
GTX 1050
8GB ram

I was planning to get 1070ti or RTX 2060, but i heard my old CPU will cause bottleneck, so i'd like to hear suggestions on CPU upgrade with less than 400USD budget.
Thank you.

You can get a Ryzen 5 2600 + motherboard + 16 GB RAM for less than $400. This CPU will work great for either of those cards.

Ryzen 2600 is a very solid contender....inexpensive and very powerful. You also have an upgrade path to 3000 series CPUs and PCIe 4.0 (maybe...and then top PCIe slot only on older motherboards)

Thanks for the fast answer! Is Ryzen 2600's socket compatible with my motherboard or do i need new motherboard as well?

selindsoft :

You will need a new motherboard and new DDR4 RAM in addition to the new CPU.
