I'm looking into getting a new CPU so I jumped on to PC Specialist to see what they could offer me. When I choose to upgrade the CPU however I only get one option of an AMD Athlon X4 860K. After researching other CPUs I feel I can get a better one for a similar price that I believe is compatible with my motherboard by looking on my motherboard manufacturers (Gigabyte) website. An example of a CPU i looked at was the AMD Athlon X4 880K. What I would like to know is if I'm right in thinking I could install the 880 and it would work fine, or are there other factors that I need to consider? If this is the case then why are PC Spec offering me only one option? Is it perhaps a stock related issue?
My motherboard is GA-F2A68HM-HD2, my current processor is AMD A6-7400K and the socket type is FM2+. Any suggestions of better CPUs than the 880 would be welcome.
Thanks
