i3 but take note you have to change your mobo for that...

changing to A10 from your 960T won't bring much improvements i guess as 960T is already one of the best Phenom 2's released.

go for i3 3220 TS if you have no plans for OC parisig b75 motherboards....

^^ nice choice nana bro...

i am also using i3 3220 for my HTPC and i'm more than satisfied with it... plus it only consumes 90 watts maximum (prime 95 + unigine for GPU stress - using geforce GT 640)...

i3 3220, btw have you tried unlocking the 960t?

Better stick with your 960T.You can easily overclock it. If you really want to upgrade,go for an i5 2nd gen or higher.

if you can sell ur current mobo+proc + vcard.

then i suggest you go i3 3220+ HD 7770 vcard +Z77 mobo if maka afford u

If power consumption is not an issue better stick sa imo current set.up it still give you an edge for overall computing and multi threaded applications plus the chance to unlock it to 6 cores. If fps on games ang reason coz i3 3220 can give you a slight advantage its still not worth an upgrade. Best spot for you is to get an i5 or i7 all the way..

if naka stock pa na ang 960T you can try unlocking it to six cores and maybe overclock it a bit depende asa makakaya imo motherboard ug cooling. An unlocked 960T at 4ghz can still be competitive sa i3 nga line up way labot power consumption
