I am thinking of upgrading my AMD Athlon II X2-250 to either the FX-6300, FX-8320, or FX-8350. I have a MAX $150 budget and use my PC for light video editing, graphic design (adobe cc), and gaming. I am particularly looking forward to Skyrim: Special Edition next week, but currently get low frames in most games, which I'm assuming is my CPU. My first question is:
which CPU should I go for?
1. FX-6300 and upgrade the RAM to 2x4GB G-Skill Ripjaws
2. FX-8350
3. Or go all the way with the FX-8320
and my second question is:
will my PSU provide enough power to support 125W?
Here are my specs:
Windows 10 64-bit
AMD Athlon II X2 250
4GB Dual-Channel DDR3 1333MHz
ASUSTeK 970 PRO GAMING/AURA
MSI R7 370 4GB
Thermaltake TR2 500W
running the OS from a 60GB OCZ-Agility 2 SSD and the games from a 1TB seagate st3100
