Hi, i currently have an fx4300 processor but i want to start streaming games and it doesn't rlly perform that good with the 4 cores, so i want to upgrade it. i'm buying the fx8350 but my question is do i need to change my ram? and if you know how it performs while streaming tell me about it plz :)
any help is appreciated.
 
No you won't need to change ram for that cpu. An 8350 won't perform any better than your 4300 in a lot of games as it's the same cores just more of them. It will probably be a bit better streaming but straight gaming it's not much of an upgrade
 




but it says am3+ socket so doesn't it support other ones too?
