Not sure if I put all the important stuff I just highlighted a few bits and pasted it. Someone lmk if I can use the fx-6300

No it will not work. The FX-6300 uses the AM3+ socket and the i3-3240 uses the LGA1155 socket. Look for a used 3000 series Intel i5 or i7. Also FX is OLD and obsolite.

^This.

You can pick up a i7 3770 from eBay.

Ok thanks guys I was just looking for price and not really sure what could fit, I assumed I'd have to use intel but I was hoping I wouldn't just because of how much it is

[Omega]

Not any Intel will work. Only LGA1155 CPUs.

Buy those CPUs used they have gotten quite affordable.

And AMD FX is cheap but obsolite, very weak and complete crap. Never buy FX.
There are cheaper faster CPUs on the market now.

Sorry we can't give a fixed price since these are old parts that's no longer sold by retailers, which your only options is buying them off from eBay, or put up an ad, hoping someone is willing to sell one to you at your asking price.

Could u maybe link some good ones for under 125?

Which game are you trying to improve performance for?

[Bad 💀 Motha]

CPU is fine, get more RAM, SSD and better GPU; such as GTX 1050 Ti or 1060

GTA V mostly but payday also drops frames quite a bit when there are a lot of enemies and the cpu runs a lot harder but like I said mostly just GTA V, it runs at 100% cpu in the task manager

OK. Your current cpu has a good single-thread score already, so upgrading it wouldn't necessarily improve performance of many games. But with GTAV, going to an i7 should boost performance. The catch is that the 750ti is going to limit the framerate.. But at least if you buy an i7-3770 you'll have a very good cpu.

If you get a i7 3770, you can pair it with any of video cards you want, which is up to you on what GPU you want.

Looking at that ^ your i3 will still choke up a gtx1050ti (GTX960 is same performance in GTA 5).

A used i7 3770 and GTX1050ti would be more ideal for GTA 5.

Doesn't really matter, does the game run smooth and CPU/GPU staying cool at all times; That's all that matters.

The reason for such high loads is cause you're on a Dual Core CPU and your GPU is just utterly terrible for anything to run right in 1080p; you also lack RAM.

[Zireth]

No. Even if you got it in the motherboard without bending a single pin, it will not boot.

To find socket compatibility, read the specs of the CPU and look for LGA (Intel), and AM(# and a + or something else)
