Fx-8300 over phenom 965

[SeverinV]

I checked my mainboard and discovered i wouldn't have to change it.
So my questions is will i receive boost in performance if upgrade my phenon to fx 8300.
Thanks for the info,
cheers

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.

Here, compare it yourself. If it's not a killer deal, no reason to buy it.

You might be better off spending on newer CPUs.

You could also buy any used i5/i7 with the MB that supports as it would outperform FX-8300.

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.
