Hi I want a recommendation on what CPU to get. The CPU support list is here http://www.asrock.com/mb/AMD/880GM-LE%20FX/?cat=CPU  but my amd fx 4350 is not on the list but still works (what I already have in my PC) so will my motherboard still work with any CPU with AM3+ or not and can you give me advice on which one to get. Try not to go above £160.

Thanks PC Alex F

 
£160? Perfect. Get the I5 4690k, It's works great for me. I get 40-60 FPS on Ultra with that CPU and an R9 290

 
Yeah dude the issue with that is I am not amazingly good at knowing what works with what so I don't know if that is compatible with my motherboard.

The CPU he recommended is out of your price range and is in-compatible with your motherboard. Therefore, I'd recommend buying this motherboard or expanding your budget to about £210-£220 so you can open up room to get the i5 he recommended. Your choice entirely. What's your GPU like?

500w crosier power supply

AMD fx 4350

So yeah I am willing to pay up to around £160 for a new CPU so yeah any adive is welcome but can you cheak it will work with my motherboard first please.

 
Read above, I also need to know your case to find out whether the cooler fits in your case. Best to overclock the CPU to squeeze everything out of it. 

 
I can't seem to remember what case i have so is it worth my giving you measurements ?

Well just me let you know my case is small/medium in size.

Should tell you somewhere on the side related to the brand. So I have a fractal design core so go to http://uk.pcpartpicker.comthen type say "coolermaster case" in the search parts and look for the one that looks like your case and post it here. 

 
I'd say go I7 but you don't really need it depending on what game you usually play on.
