M5A 78LM USB3 Mb Upgrading

6 posts · originally from https://geek.digit.in/community/threads/m5a-78lm-usb3-mb-upgrading.206465/

My pc has a M5A 78LM USB3 mb.
I bought it back in 2014.
I want to know what new processors can I use with this one since I don't want to put too much money in upgrading the pc.
But will do if it's necessary.
Kindly suggest.
My pc has Corsair SMPS
4 TB hdd
8 gb Ram
AMD FX 4300 processor
And
Nvidia GT 740 2gb ddr5 inno 3d graphics card.

Look for used FX6300 in olx for your local city.Should cost ~4k. Your pc is very old so instead of spending money on it I suggest building a new system.You can sell your current processor+mobo+ram for ~5-6k.

Op can get a FX8300 from Aliexpress for roughly 4K or even less with coupons - choose ali express standard shipping.

Why aliexpress when so many options available on olx/erodov forums?

Nowadays,because of ryzen 2nd gen launch,many people are selling their old rigs.
