What CPU? Why do you want to upgrade?

RATCAST · Oct 25, 2014

i have the amd fx 8320 atm but will be upgradeing that to the AMD FX-9590 in the new year. and tbh im not sure on the benifits of upgrading as new to all this but thought i could use one

Save your money. The 9xxx series isn't worth upgrading to, and even a 8320 to 8350 upgrade isn't worth it. Upgrading you board isn't really worth it either unless you're intending on overclocking, in which case your $130 won't get you the boards you'll need.

keep your cpu, do not upgrade that.
save some more money and get an asus sabertooth, anything less will be a waste of money.

Additionally do not even attempt to run a Fx 9590 on the current board you have if you decided to upgrade to it. That said I feel the 9590 is a waste anyway, you can most likely with really good cooling, get the 8320 to at least 4.8 if you OCed it. Though you will need a quality board like C/D suggested to do so.
