    It really depends on the rest of your system. What motherboard is it? What socket?

    Oh sorry I see - you're looking for a processor for €100 for a new build you havent come up with yet.

    I suggest if you're doing a build post your whole budget and fill out the form in the links.

    For €100 depending on whether you are going for a discrete GPU or not look at the new AMD lines.

    I have case and the psu, so looking to get the Mobo, CPU, hdd and graphics card for between 200 - 250.

    Do you do much gaming - one of the quadcore AMD APUs (CPU+GPU) is probably what I'd go for on that budget.

    What's the quality of the PSU like? Have you got the name and model?

    Won't be doing much gaming more so website builds and making tracks using ableton software. This is my first build so not sure what to get.
