is an AM3+ upgrade worth it?

[Italian Plumber]

so heres the situation im gonna get an Rx 480 and i currently have a FX 6300, i was thinking about getting an FX 8350 (+OC) and using that for a while. And i know if you really bleed blue team than you will say "just spend all your cash on an upgrade", but i really dont have $300+ for a new mobo, Ram, and CPU with a $200 GPU on top of that even after zen releases and drags the CPU prices down a little.

So, it it worth it to get a FX 8350 to last me at least a couple years on the 480 (especially since future DX12 and Vulcan games can really take advantage of all 8 cores) or should i stick with my 6300 and put the money in the upgrade fund for a year or tho down the road.

im not looking for a "no CPU bottleneck" situation, im looking for a "close enough" situation that will cost the least amount of money

No it's just a side grade.

I would go for intel, Haswell minimum and an i5.

What motherboard are you using? The FX8350 is not a very big upgrade over the FX6300 in gaming. It is almost definitely not worth it.

Better save that money and OC your 6300 as much as you can, assuming your mobo is adequate for it with a nice cooler.
