Hi there, I wanted to upgrade my CPU to the fastest my MSI 970A-G46 Socket AM3+ AMD Motherboard can handle. I was looking at the AMD FX-8370E Vishera 8-Core 3.3GHz (4.3GHz Turbo) Socket AM3+ 95W Desktop Processor FD837EWMHKBOX. Was there something faster that was released recently. I don't really have a budget :) Thanks!

I strongly believe that for Intel you don't need anything above an i5. For AMD I feel all you need is a FX 6300-6350 as an FX 83XX will perform nearly identical in games with the same GPU (No OC). There are games that the 8300,8310,8320,8350,8370 perform better than a 63XX Series but a lot don't have a difference more than 1-3 FPS. There's still the hope and fact that games will/can use more than 6-Cores so an 8350 would allow a little more breathing room for the future. In your situation I would still just buy a FX 6300 for ~$100 or a 6350
