not much. You get a better physics score in 3dmark, but the increase is hardly justified by the upgrade Price. I have Phenom II x4 965 and i will not be upgrading at the moment. Óverclock your CPU and use your Money on better GPU - it will be better spent, and THAT will give you more FPS!
Here is a direct comparison between the two: http://cpuboss.com/cpus/AMD-Phenom-II-X4-965-vs-AMD-FX-8350

what 7850? 1gig cards are useless.
what kind of problems are you having? I run a 6950 with none.
if you're after more frame rates because of somebody's preconceived idea that more is better........... but do you need more?

I have a 2gb core edition and i'm not having any issues i'm just wanting better performance in gaming. what i really want to do is crossfire the two 7850's with the current setup that I have but i'm not sure if the cpu I currently have would bottle neck the two cards. Edit : I don't necessarily need the frames but i'm going to college next year ( In my senior year of highschool) and im trying to future proof my rig as much as possible because I know when I get too college i'm not going to be able to upgrade my rig much at all.

Some people don't like CrossfireX so you might hear those kinds of opinions (rarely based on having properly used such a system of course and usually an opinion based on something they read online from someone else). Personally I like CFx. It has never given me any real problems though there are some frametime issues (a lot of that fixed with the latest BETA drivers and set to be even further improved with the next driver release).
I'd say it is worth it. If you CPU bottlenecks the two GPUs it's not really that much of a problem seeing as it still allows you the chance to use higher AA and AF settings without incurring any performance losses.
My 2 cents.
