No you dont
8150 is fine.

 

[mnc221]

Intel is better for gaming so i5 4670k is really good but your cpu is fine

What is your PSU and GPU? Most likely that will be your best options for upgrade.

A 8350 is SIGNIFICANTLY better than a 8150!!!

Don't be fooled into thinking you can just overclock your 8150 and make it a 8350. It does not work that way.

Get a 8350. Period.

You would probably be best getting a good cooler and overclocking your current FX. It isn't a stellar chip, but still fairly capable in newer titles.

False!

8150 is a competitive cpu that can be OC'd with Hyper 212 evo to 4.4GHz stable performing at par with the 8350!

 

[logainofhades]

FX 8350 is a superior chip, but not worth spending nearly $200 on.

 

[IAMEXTREME]

Superior than the 8350 is the i7-3960X.

But the point is do you need to upgrade?? NO YOU DON'T

True, but overclock a 8350 to 4.4ghz and you're 20% faster, overclock it to 4.8 and you're 40% faster.

The OP needs to know that if his 8150 needs to be upgraded for the 200dollar 8350. Its not worth it!

To answer your original question, do you think your 8150 is holding your system back? What are the rest of your components? It's not a bad chip. It's plenty capable of handling new games.

If you feel you need more performance-

1. Get a good after market cooler and overclock. If that's not good enough-

2. Get a 8350. If that isn't good enough. Repeat step one with the 8350. If that doesn't work-

3. Get an i5 or i7

If I had a 8150, and I wanted to upgrade, I would start trying to sell my 8150 while being on the lookout for deals on the 8350. I know that it drops to $175ish all the time. I also know that I could get AT least $120 for my used 8150, and possibly up to $150 for it.

So total projected price for upgrade would be $20-60

Hey dude, you don't need to upgrade.

 

[logainofhades]

If you can find a buyer for the 8150, you could pick up an 8320 cheap enough. You don't necessarily have to, but it is an option to consider if you really feel the need to get a new CPU.

You don't need that much for just a single card. This 650w Rosewill Capstone PSU is a really good deal right now. Rosewill Capstones are Gold rated and top notch. http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00822BTLC/?tag=pcpapi-20

see if you are getting bottlenecks on your cpu, if yes, upgrade, if not don't...dont abuse the meaning of bottlenecking though, do you have slow gameplay, because of your cpu? 8350 is much stronger than 8150, but if you are not facing stuttering in games, because of cpu, I see no reason to upgrade

The CPU is fine! If you want to overclock get another cooler just to ensure that it won't overheat at random times.
