CPU Upgrade Help

Best solution

^^ going to a 965be wouldnt be a huge increase except the 400mhz clock increase at stock, and u can overclock the 920 to that. Going to a fx 6300 is the best upgrade for the cost, but requires a new motherboard, so not going for a rlly cheap $60 motherboard a 970 chipset for around $80-90 will suffice if a motherboard upgrade is an option.

A 965 BE goes for about $90 and will work in ur current motherboard, u might be held back in the ram as im guessing ur using ddr2. But the 965 be can be overclocked usually to around 4ghz, but ull need a aftermarket cooler if u dont already, and the x6 1045t is locked like ur current x4 so can usually only reach a little less, and its a more difficult way of overclocking
