Upgrade?

I currently have a fairly decent Gpu and am happy with it but due to the fact that arms 3 is not optimised correctly (if at all) my gpu doesn't perform, thus meaning I have to upgrade my CPU which lets just say is on the lower end and overall resulting in a bottle neck to my rig. I would appreciate some suggestions of CPU's that are good for undertake £300 (and if possible motherboard which fit the CPU chip type).

Many thanks!

 
I think @Zeito is your guys for this one. I would help but my grandma is better than me when it comes to this

tell us your current spec first, what you'd like to upgrade, what preferences you have etc.

I'm all about the Intel, but I hear the near AMD chips are not to be sniffed at if you drink the kool-aid from @lionels stand instead of mine.

GPU: Msi Gtx 1060 6gb (I'm happy with this)

RAM: 8gb 

CPU: I'm embarrassed to say that it's actually an AMD 6600k APU with the intergrated graphics disabled (it's awful)

PSU: Corsair 650W power supply gold certified 

I would like to switch to an Intel CPU and need suggestions under £300

havea read through that, they release tomorrow and are substantially cheaper than the competing Intel Chips, so if you're on a tight budget for a new CPU + mobo they'll be your best bet.

early delivery tells quite a bit here, better than what was advertised :)

http://wccftech.com/amd-ryzen-7-1700x-delivered-early-benchmarks/

Clever marketing strategy from AMD tbh, tell people they are going to get something pretty amazing then give them something fantastic, no offense intended to the fanbois but the only reason to buy Intel atm, is if you want to support Intel financially through the following months/years.

throughout the day we are going to get true hardware reviews from the experts so well looking forward to this !!!

I'm hardcore intel fan and reading through those preliminary numbers and reports makes me want to buy one. I mean c'mon the thing is only 300 dollarydoos for 8 cores!

 
I wouldn't classify you quite as a "hardcore" intel fan, as you are able to recommend AMD/Intel as per best suited per application/Enviroment. 

You gotta be much blinder than you are now to be labeled fanboi :p Keep at it laddy :D 

1800X leaked benchmarks !!! 

http://wccftech.com/amd-ryzen-7-1800x-review-processor-leak/
 

running slightly slower so not surprised with the single core performance, but OMG look at the temp scores !!! I'm guessing no overclocking was enabled for that test, still reading through it though!! So maybe not quite the performer we wanted ??!?! or is it, it's from anon leak so will have to see if not is AMD's finewine technology enough to claw it back ?!?

Intel 74°c & 80°c
AMD 66°c

And the M.2 Scores made for very interesting reading !! 

A paragraph for the Intel fans :D you have this at least, well until we bring up the prices :p 
 

The benchmarks show that in single-threaded benchmarks, the Core i7-7700K is the clear leader while in multi-threaded benchmarks, the Core i7-6900K and Ryzen 7 1800X are close to each other. We see the i7 7700K beating the Ryzen 7 1800X in even some multi-threaded benchmarks such as Winrar and SuperPI.

Gaming Benchmarks are lagging back by a few FPS, which is a shame. So pure FPS builds will still be intel @Zeito :)

Given its still competing massively regarding price though, I would still advise the AMD over the intel unless you have deep pockets so not much has changed to my previous views :/ 

The results are all over the place so it is very hard to guage what the hell it actually is capable of, but given some time I expect to see some more solid results.
