One of the main complaints against the FX CPUs back in the day was they were not a clear performance improvement, in gaming, over the top line Phenom II X4s. And that was when they were brand new tech.

Today? I would 'upgrade' IF I got the CPU for such a low cost it was almost free. Otherwise I would use the 965 until I was ready to put together a new system.

Assuming your mainboard supports it,
First, you should see about max around 10% faster single core speed but with more cores/threads.
If you plan mainly to game, you should see almost no difference.
The second thing is, why upgrade to a long obsolete processor.
Save your money and go for Ryzen or CoffeeLake or newer.
