Not really. You won't get much of a performance gain and the socket is quite old now. I would recommend grabbing a new Kaby Lake or Ryzen CPU (Ryzen 5 comes out very soon). Even a Pentium G4560 (Kaby Lake) can outperform the FX CPUs in games these days as well as some workstation softwares and it's like $50. Hope this helps
