I have an FX 4130 3.8GHZ and got a fx 8370 how much of a performance boost will I get in games like skyrim starcraft 2 bf4 etc... I use skyrim ultra modded and sc2 4v4 frequently and my FX 4130 can't take it can the FX 8370 take it?

Yep that board is no way suitable for the FX 8 core. Since that is the case if you upgrade aim Intel even a I5 4460 on a budget board is better than AMD offerings.

Base clock is only a .2mhz increase and 4.3mhz turbo so not much of a increase unless you overclock. Having more than 4 cores will not help you in those games and overclocking a 8 Core will depended on the motherboard. You need a good VRM, 8+2 is preferred if you want to get a decently high overclock, you will also need a CPU cooler better than a Stock something along the lines of a Hyper 212 Evo will do fine.
