If you don't already have a SSD, get one. Be one with it. Breathe it. Live it. It's worth the boost in load times for installing your OS onto it. Whatever space you have left you can dedicate a particular set of games you actively play on it and bam. Plus, you may eventually upgrade your processor but at least you can carry that SSD with you towards your next venture.

Thanks to both of you! If I could select two solutions I would. I looked at some bench marks on the 8320 and the 8350. And the difference in most programs isn't to bad because the 8350 is only like 15 frames higher at very most. I will only be doing light video editing (like gameplay) so I don't think that will effect me. Thanks again!

Fifteen frames? They aren't that far apart in performance to yield that much of a difference.

Just an example but you're in good hands. Now, my 8150 that I'm currently using....big difference!

Yes in games of course not 15 fps difference but it some multi threaded program which I cant remember the name of, not that I'll ever use them programs but it was just a point. Thanks for your help any ways 8320 and 840 evo it is! And yes I have an SSD in my current build but I'm building a pc for the girlfriend on a budget so was deciding on whether to go SSD or more powerful CPU. Thanks again everyone :)
