aj4132 Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 (edited) I'm just wonder what do you guys think is the best but a good price processor. I'm really tired of having to close everything out to play CS:S. Budget: around $100-150 Thank you for reading. Specs: Processor: AMD Anthlon II170u 2GHz RAM: 4GB 64-Bit Graphic-card: AMD Radeon HD 6450 Edited May 28, 2012 by aj4132 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enigma# Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 What socket motherboard you have? It's harder to recommend one if we don't know your current set up/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kirk Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 You are going to change out the processor on your Compaq? Judging from your previous posts, I'd say you probably don't know a whole lot about computers. Changing out a processor is a little more complicated than a graphics card or memory stick. To be frank, I'd just save up some cash until you have enough to build your own computer. In the meantime you should probably study up on how to build a computer. Google will be your best bet. [edit] Or you could at least buy the parts and take it to a local computer shop to build for you. It would still be cheaper than buying from Dell, HP, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aj4132 Posted May 29, 2012 Author Share Posted May 29, 2012 Mkay ill start saving up got 400$ already. But talked to my dad he said its better to build a computer instead of getting a new processor. And thank you for reading. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnonyHorse Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 If your motherboard is a socket am3, which im guessing it is, an amd athlon x4 630 or 635 would be fine. They run about ~$120 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aj4132 Posted June 1, 2012 Author Share Posted June 1, 2012 Yes sockets are am2, am3 and am4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnonyHorse Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 Yes sockets are am2, am3 and am4 There is no am4. There is FM1, am2, am3 and am3+ If you found out what exact processor you have we could figure it out. If you right click my computer and go to properties it should tell you.

DaRkMaN Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 (edited) Hopefully the thread isn't too old to involve myself here. As I've been reading you don't know shit about computers, therefor you most likely bought a built/custom computer and nothing is self-built. At most times, I also may say ALWAYS, the MB and Power-Supply is shit coming from china out of a no-name factory and may end up as firework. I couldn't find any information of the CPU, so I just give you a random suggestion. Do you like the case and does it support ATX? Keep it. Think about what you wanna use, AMD or Intel? AMD is cheap but intel is stronger. I personally would say i5 2400 and ASRock P67 Pro3 and 8Gb Ram from TGE could it, you also can go with AMD like AMD Phenom II X4 965 and ASRock 870 Extreme3 (and again the ram). In most cases you can unlock the CPU to 6 cores. But don't forget to get a good Power Supply from Corsair, Be Quiet or such known companys. Personally prefer Be Quiet Pure Power L8, 430 Watt should do it. Edited June 5, 2012 by DaRkMaN Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
