I am getting bad performance on my PC with all games what would be a good CPU to buy i was thinking the FX-8320 would be good or the FX 6300 would be good to stop getting bad performance on games like Battlefield 4 Starcraft 2 Skyrim with ENB and minecraft with SEUS shaders i also have to get a cooler and i need to know a good cheap cooler i can get, all i want is my PC to run 60 plus fps high-ultra settings 1440x900 resolution. I do not want someone saying get a Intel its more worth the money just get a couple extra bucks, i don't have enough to get a good Intel believe me i would love to have one but i just don't have the money for a good Intel CPU and a good cooler. i want the full price of the CPU and CPU cooler to be around 150$

All of those games besides battlefield would benefit from an upgrade like that, most of the games you listed get better performance when a processor has good single threaded performance. Like I bet your fps is fine some places but in like the city and that in skyrim you drop a lot of a fps same with starcraft. You can have even more cores but the AMD just has poor single threaded performance. So swapping to something like an i3 with some semi cheap but not to cheap motherboard and you would see a huge improvement mostly in the areas where you see those drops. So it just depends on which games you play the most. Like my wife is a huge AMD fan and she always plays Skyrim and wow and games like that and her fx 8350 drops a lot of frames in...

Like my wife is a huge AMD fan and she always plays Skyrim and wow and games like that and her fx 8350 drops a lot of frames in certain parts of those games. But when she likes to just play from the couch on htpc with an intel she doesn't get any drops really at all.
