I am looking for the best AM3+ socket processor for gaming for under $200. I need to replace my current one which is the AMD FX 8310. I have compared it with the FX8350, FX8370, and the FX9590. From what I have seen the FX9590 appears to be the best one. Any help here?

The 8310 can easily reach the 8370's clock speed with a small oc it's the same processor after all.

Don't get the 9000 series as it's among the worst processors ever made.

I recommend you don't spend any more money on the am3 platform and save to upgrade to the latest ryzen/intel platform. There is now worthwhile cpu on the am3 platform anymore.

Is your still in working order? If so don't waste your money. Keep saving till you can upgrade to a newer better platform like Ryzen. The FX9590 is a hot mess with massive power and cooling requirements and also requires a board made for it, and even then they have stability issues.
