Witch is the best AMD CPU for a FM2/FM2+ Socket

[Sgt. Acosta]

Hello, I want to know if any of you know whats the best AMD CPU for a FM2/FM2+ socket. Right now I have a A10 5800k but it can't keep up with my GPU (Geforce GTX 960 4GB AMP! Zotac). Money is no problem. What are your advice for a CPU of at least 6 cores or maybe 8. I been looking of the FX series but the socket for those are different.

[Flats the Flounder]

there is no good if any 6 to 8 core cpu in that socket. the best would prob be the athlon 860k get a good cooler and overclock it.

If money is no problem then get yourself a new Intel Skylake-based system.
Edit: Shouldn't this be in Hardware & OS?

none of them are good

pairing any with the gtx 960 is a waste of a good gpu
but atleast you can upgrade to fx or i3/i5/i7 to get full use of the gpu

of the best apu, the a10 6800k has the highset clock speed

an i3 will run circles around apus
or i5 will have 4 cores that are much faster even at lower clocks

Seriously, an i3 will stomp all that FM2 junk.
Then couple it with a GTX 960 if your budget is tight

Don't bother upgrading in that chips etc none are worth the price
