I currently have a
AsRock 990FX Fatal1ty Profession Mobo with a AMD AM3+ FX8150 Black Edition.
When i first had my PC i had a 1GB AMD card then went to a R9270X 2GB. i now have a R9280X which is a 3GB card but ive never upgraded the CPU.

I was thinking of putting in a FX8350 4.0Ghz

I may also look at upgrading the Graphics card again to one of the new AMD R9 390X 8GB cards.

which would be the ideal CPU to go with current 3GB card and possibly for an upgraded card in the future.

Using multiple video cards is no explanation at all. Please stop trolling and embarrassing yourself.

The comparisons which will be of value to the OP are the FX-8150 against the FX-8350. Like this:

Simple extrapolation -- at comparable clocks performance between the FX-8150 and FX-8350 will be near-identical in many games.

You are wrong. The 8150 wasnt very good, the 8350 was much better.

OP, go for the 8350/8320 and get a good cpu cooler so you can overclock it.
