Hello everyone, my current specs are the FX-6300, MSI 970A-G43, Zalman ZM500-GV (500W)

Currently working more in Photoshop, Lightroom was thinking to upgrade my CPU instead of the whole thing, and it seems that my Motherboard doesn't work well with 125W Cpu's (FX 8350, FX 8320) which the 8320E seems a good choice

The question is that is it really worth it, will it make a big difference towards apps like Photoshop?

Thanks alot
 
I'm not sure it would be worth it. Little bump but not a lot. Maybe if you can sell the fx-6300 for some money to help reduce 8320E cost then yeah go ahead. However, if you are considering new mobo too then you might want to jump to an intel platform and get something like a i5-4460. It'll be damn fast.
