Product: Pavilion p6-2003w
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 7 (64-bit)

Hey guys. I'm relatively new to the pc building/upgrading scene, but so far I've built one from scratch and upgraded one. I have a p6-2003w desktop with an AMD E2-3200 dual core processor on the FM1 Socket K12 Bridge Chipset . It's an older pc but still runs fine and I'd love to upgrade it with a new CPU, PSU, SSD, and the eventual low profile graphics card for some light 1080p gaming after I upgrade it to Windows 10. I've already populated the second dimm slot with a 4GB stick of ddr3 1333mhz ram for a total of 8 GB which is fine for what I'm wanting to do.

 

I'd prefer to start by upgrading the processor to the best possible one that my particular motherboard can handle in order to prevent any bottlenecking from my games or programs. I can find everything else out just fine, but I do need help in figuring out what the best cpu is for my system. 

 

Thanks In Advance!
