+1 to the 960T.
Check remaining warranty.

Is there an online portal to check the remaining warranty?

No .... but if you have the purchase bill then the warranty ( 3 years ) starts from the date of purchase.

Another vote for 960T. It performs way better than FX4100 when it comes to gaming and if you're lucky it can unlock to 6 stable cores.

with Op's current mobo it's not safe to unlock or even try unlocking the cpu.

^^True that, but investing on better CPU like 960T is money well spent. He can get a decent 880G chipset (or higher) based board in future to unlock/OC it.
