J Jchinson Commendable Jan 19, 2017 11 0 1,510 Jan 19, 2017 #1 So right now I have an Asus m5a78/USB3 motherboard, FX 8320e and a gtx 1060 3gb. I know for sure that the 8320e bottlenecks. Are there any AMD CPU that would provide a significantly better gaming experience?

Solution imsqam Jan 19, 2017 I first do not think that you have an upgrade option here while maintaining the mobo. FX9xxx series processors are not supported for this mobo https://www.asus.com/Motherboards/M5A78LUSB3/HelpDesk_CPU/ and even FX8xxx series CPU's are not recommended for this board. http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/id-2384030/motherboard-tier-list-am3-chipsets.html?_ga=1.183739045.2005101232.1483893500 And even if you did upgrade, your CPU would still fall into the same general tier http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/cpu-hierarchy,4312.html Last, I question that this CPU is bottlenecking the GPU, lots of people are getting good pairing results on 3DMark...
