Well, the title says it all. Which one of theese CPU's is better to game on in next few years.

I know they are both old etc etc, but I am on a tight budget.
I currently have AMD x4 B97 (essentialy x4 955 with lower TDP 95W) OC to 3.5Ghz.
I was thinking of getting x6 1035t. I would also OC it to 3.3-3.5Ghz, pretty mild, I dont like pushing things :D

Is it worth the upgrade? How much of a performance increase would be, if any.

I am mostly focusing on games like Overwatch, GTA V, not really AAA titles.

Rest of my RIG:

Medion MS 7646 mobo
Gigabyte RX 460 2gb
AMD x4 B97 3.5Ghz
8gb DDR3
Corsair CX 400W
Random HDD
 
Solution
It would be a minimal improvement. You should keep an eye out for a used Haswell board and chip.

For most games adding a few cores doesn't do much. The main game thread is pretty much still single core.
