Currently i have an AMD A10-7870k and a GTX 950 and i was wanting to get a cpu to replace my apu, i was gonna get the AMD FX 8320e. so my question is would getting the FX 8320e help keep my FPS and performance up paired with my gtx 950 in more CPU intensive games? because my APU now seems to struggle causing drops in FPS.
Better CPU and GPU combo

You would need a new motherboard as well they are not on the same socket. For the price of a new mobo and 8320e no I would say thats not worth it at all, your money would be better spent on a switch to intel in my opinion. I wouldn't think a A10 7870K would bottleneck a 950 much in most games, what games are you seeing a bottleneck in?

The Fx8320e is a poor upgrade choice considering you would need to buy a new motherboard and you would be "upgrading" to older parts.
Honestly, your A10 should be ok with a GTX950. You would probably have to upgrade both to really get a boost.
