i am upgrading from a Q8400 since no i have realized it is completely obsolete in MMOs
i loved planetside 2 but because of the insanely low fps, i want to change my cpu
150$ only for cpu (not planning on overclocking)

i5 3450 (140$)

i5 2500k (140$)

also will a fx6300 suffice for a good enough upgrade
