Hello from Canada... I have a PC with an A4-7300 processor and want to know what CPU I can upgrade to. I’m not very familiar with socket sizes, so I’d appreciate your advice. Thanks!

I use my PC for various tasks including gaming, content creation, and general consumption. It's also used for work purposes.

Your budget is clear, and I’ll address all the questions Acid panda mentioned.

Consider using AMD A10-7890K or Athlon X4 880K if you have the funds. Otherwise, switching to a Ryzen setup would be a better choice.

PC is meant solely for gaming. But if I upgrade to a Ryzen, that would be amazing—I believed those processors were more powerful... Thanks everyone.

For the CPU, my budget is around 300 dollars CAD.

Sadly, FM2+ CPUs are now quite outdated and don't justify the upgrade. A Ryzen with AM4 would only be feasible if you replace your motherboard. For a fresh budget build under $300, even used parts like a Dell Optiplex with a 5th or 6th generation i5 could offer significant improvements.

It's fine, I located an AMD A10-5800K with a quad-core processor for just $70 on Newegg.

I hope your experience with modern games isn't hindered by the CPU. Could you tell me which games you intend to play?

Fallout 4, Witcher 2, and other titles are popular games.
