Ideally, you don't "upgrade" to either of those.
The i5-3570k would also require a new motherboard and the 8350 is...mediocre.

And of course, we know nothing about the rest of the system, your use, or your budget.

Like USAFRet said, you need a new mobo for that i5. And fx 8350 is, not only mediocre it is really bad. I tried numeros of them.. But if you can get a motherboard for the i5 I would go for it, it will still be a reasonable upgrade comparing to yours.

Honestly you’re better off upgrading to something on a new platform. From what I understand the FX chips get slapped around by the new 2c/4t Pentiums on intels side and I wouldn’t be surprised to see the bottom end Ryzen Athlon 200GE easily beat them.

I tried it in real life, I own an old fx 8350 and I own one g4600 and it plays better.. Those fx processors were really bad and still are...

Yeah I suppose you know they’re bad when to “compete” AMD binned some, overclocked then to 5Ghz, strapped an AIO onto the power hungry monster they created and called it the FX 9590

Please post your rest rig details and then we can suggest best option for you.

Haha yeah.
But ryzen on the other hand they are solid. I think they learned from their mistake! I hope... pp

Really like Ryzen, making Intel sweat and that’s good for everyone including both the red and blue fanboy camps.

Just hope Navi can close the gap to Nvidia somewhat.

Yeah, I think the prizes are crazy right now. I remember for a few years ago.. Damn now its really a bad time building new computers....

800 for a 9900K, board and RAM.
1200 for a 2080Ti. Lovely.

Used to be 500 for the top tier intel and 800 for the Ti model. Up 700 from the 7700K days.

I’m just gonna buy a switch. Play odyssey till thinks get more reasonable.

The FX8350 would be an improvement, yes... the i5-3570 would offer some, but not much, improvement too...

Both platforms are discontinued!

Ryzen is the better upgrade.

Intel i3, i5, i7, i9 in either the 8xxx or 9xxx flavors are better too.

On the Cheaper CPU side: Athlon 200GE or maybe a Pentum Gold.

Again a new motherboard and RAM are needed. If you have an aftermarket cooler you want to reuse: Intel -> you'll need to find the leftover parts and instructions to reuse it. AMD -> an adapter may be necessary.
