Is upgrading to the 8350 worth it?

Solution
Not worth it, you already have better performance than stock 8350 now at 4.2GHz OC. And 8350 is not going to allow much more OC anyway, and runs hotter. You would need to change the platform for meaningful performance boost. Like Ryzen 5 2600/2600X.

your better off seeing if there a non profit that can use your old pc and give you a donation slip thta you can use to get money back when you do your taxes. with intel and amd in a new cpu war there dropping faster cpu now so fast that going wiht older cpu and ram not worth it anymore.
