Is it worth it to upgrade my cpu or wait?

I have a amd phenom ii x4 910e and was wondering if its worth upgrading to the amd phenom ii x4 965 black edition, for the purpose of gaming?

Is it worth it? That's a tough one.

BE is ~$90, and you're not going to get a huge return on your investment. If you just have cash burning a hole in your pocket ... then yes. Otherwise you're better off saving the money and putting it towards a new mobo/CPU combo.

I figured as much, just needed a second opinion to be sure about it thanks for the reply.

THG only recommends upgrading CPUs if they are 3 tiers higher in their hierarchy chart. That being said, the upgrade would only be a 2 tier upgrade, so only you can make the call. However, here is an info page that may help you decide:
