No. do what I said.

Get an athlon 860k. It is a good CPU that works on your board. If you get a new board you have to reinstall Windows among other stuff.

No he can't. his CPU and motherboard are FM2 not AM3. Sorry.


he should do what I said. he will get WAY better performance for money.


So would it be good to get a new motherboard?

Who said anything bout CF at all?

No the best CPU for FM2 is the Athlon 860k it is a great CPU and i might actually buy one and make a portable rig with it.

I also wouldn't count on the 550 watt PSU Crossfiring two 280Xs, though.

Isn't there something like an Athlon 9xx?

because that is the best CPU his motherboard can use. And it is plenty of power for a high end GPU like the 280x.

Why not a better CPU than the 860K for an upgrade?
