Hi all i'm new here, long time looker first time Poster 
Ok so something i have been noticing is my GPU is being held back (bottleneck) by my old CPU so i was thinking of getting a newer one then the one i have.
Before going off on how old my CPU is and that i have to rather look into a new system, i know but i can't at the moment
So my old CPU is a AMD Athlon 64 x2 5200+ (2 core 2.7Ghz) and what i have see from the manufacturer website my mobo only supports CPU's up to a AMD Phenomâ„¢ X4 Quad-Core 9650+.
It can't handle AM3 CPU's because of the 95W power limit i think. So to make a long story short does anyone have a AMD Phenomâ„¢ X4 Quad-Core 9650+ that they want to sell and if so what would you want for it?
Thanks for reading.
