In my current build I am using a FX-6300. I was looking around for a new CPU to upgrade with my current PC. And I came across 2 different CPU's that I was thinking of buying the FX-8320, and FX-8350. Between these 2 CPU's I do not know witch of the CPU's that I want. Is it worth wait and the money to buy a more expensive FX-8350 Or is it more logically to save the extra money and spend it on something else with the PC and buy the FX-8320. Also how big of a performance increase will i even see out of these 2 CPU's compared to my FX-6300 Currently in my PC i have a GTX 760 2gb SC and 8gb of memory. I play games like Prison Architect, CS GO, Mount and Blade Warband, Also Garry Mod. I do not plan on overclocking any of these CPU's any time in the future i'm just interested in base clock performance.

as kanewolf says - an overclocked 6300 @ 4ghz will perform pretty much the same in gaming as the 8350.
those 2 extra cores rarely make a difference in current games (if ever)
If you have a decent motherboard then spend $20-$30 on an aftermarket cooler & push your 6300 a little - its a good improvement for very little expenditure

You will probably get minimal gaming increase changing from a 6300 to an 8320 or 8350 if you choose not to overclock. You should attempt to overclock your current CPU to get more performance from it. Spend your money on cooling for your current CPU.

Do you have a suggestion for a decent motherboard maybe some were around the 100$ range that I can easily use to overclock? Because I have never overclocked before. Right now I have a cheap 50 dollar MOBO that does its job. Also i already have a aftermarket cooler so I will not be using the stock cooler.
