New Motherboard or No?

[ARMRoc Molloy]

I'm looking into upgrading my CPU

I have a AMD FX-4300

The games that has encouraged me to upgrade are Mortal Kombat X and The Witcher 3 - they both require the FX-8350

I've been looking and my motherboard supports the AM3+ socket but my FX-4300 uses 95w, so I was looking and the highest I can go using 95w and no new motherboard is the 8370e

The 8370e is only a couple ahead of the 8350 needed by these two games, so should I just get the 8370e, or get a new motherboard a better CPU

If you plan to get a new motherboard make the switch to intel.

I've heard that the Intel i-5 is great, but I was wondering if the 8370 is enough or if I should just go ahead and get an upgrade with a mobo

I dont think you would be very satisfied with the the FX series at this point in time, the intel lineup is simply stronger at this time.
