so, im currently stuck with this FM1 socket for now.

i currently have the shitty A6-3500 ive been running for a few years..

i figured i would just upgrade to one of these for the time being as it seems they are the best 2 FM1 socket chips.

ive also been looking at different spec sheets, and im having a hard time alone choosing one.

its between...

A8 3870k
vs
Athlon II x4 651k.

lemme get you guy's $0.02

edit: im leaning more twards the A8, but im not sure.

if that is your choices go with the athlon.. that is unless you don't have a video card at all.

Wasting money
Slowly save up, til u get like 800+ to spend for a new build.

It's like upgrading an ancient car by getting it a new set of tires which give very minor boost in perf.

Waiting and saving up few weeks to get a decent build is better than living with Ur current choices for x amount of months

Cpu ~~ tires

A better meraphor would be thay Cpu would be motor or gearbox.

Changing tires sounds more like buying quicker rams lel

the concept is still the same.

dunno why u care if i used any other word for objects when that's not even the point.

just to make you happy, here:
