Hi everyone thanks for looking at my post (:
Anyway looking to upgrade me CPU because mines a littttle outdated. I don't think it would be capable of running such games as The Witcher 3 (Great Game) So might as well. Now the biggest problem is money so please no more than $125-150 even thats kind've pushing it. I know you pay for what you get but im just a high school kid with no job so. I'll post specs below because quite frankly I have no idea whats compatible with what.
Processor AMD FX 4100-Quad Core 3.6ghz
Ram 8gb
Video card Geforce GTX 650
MOBO Gigabyte M68MT-S2
PSU Raidmax RX 630SS
Thanks!

Well processors don't drive games, graphics cards do. I would look into getting a better graphics card if you want better performance on Games.

If you can manage it. You might not need to upgrade case. Then you'll want to save for a GPU upgrade because the 650 will be holding you back in games more than the FX-4100. Though, that will still be holding you back. I'm not even sure what CPUs you'd be able to upgrade to without a mobo upgrade, but mobo upgrade as well as new CPU is going to be your best bet, after GPU upgrade.

I had a GTX 650 previously, purchased a MSI GTX 760 2GB yesterday and it is a beast. I suggest you upgrade your GPU.
