I would like to upgrade my PC to a higher quality one prioritizing the CPU. Can someone recommend me what to do, I have never built a PC and have never changed one so would just like some advice. If it is possible I would like to send it off to someone trustworthy who can upgrade it for me. These are my current specs:

Case: Galaxy 3

Motherboard: Gigabyte F2A55M-DS2 AMD

CPU: AMD Athlon X4 750K Quad Core

Memory: 8GB DDR3

Graphics Card: AMD Radeon HD 6670

well, you cant go much farther with socket fm2, only the athlon x4 760K would be faster, but only by a tiny amount. if you can afford it, i would either get an am3+ build, or intel 1150. what is your budget?

for 60 pounds, there isnt much you can do. do you know if it is the cpu or graphics card holding you back?

My budget is about £60. I do not know what an AM3+ is. :??:

I can adjust from £60. I am looking for a cpu as the game I play (FSX) requires a good CPU and my current CPU isnt really that good.

CPU AMD FX-6300 3.5GHz 6-Core £76.79
Motherboard Gigabyte GA-78LMT-USB3 Micro ATX AM3+ £33.86
Total: £110.65

this will give a significant performance increase, if you can afford it.
