FX CPUs have a bad architecture for gaming - to make matters worse the x1xx series are worse than the x3xx series. They we're bad even when first lauched compared to old Phenom II x4s at that time. There is no cheap solution as the platform is also dead so by the time AMD does decide to release new CPUs your motherboard won;t support them.

Cheapest thing you can do is get a haswell based i3 with a cheap mobo and be amazed by your high fps...
