Hello folks
I'm currently looking into upgrading my 5 year old AMD FX-8350 to a more modern CPU
My current system
CPU:AMD FX-8350, MB: am3+ m5a97 r2.0 , Memory :16gb DDR3: GPU: GTX 1060 6gb. Storage: SSD-boot-drive and several HDDs.
My Current issue .
I use my PC for gaming and in most modern AAA titles i get about 40fps but the performance is very choppy. I'm looking to upgrade the CPU as that is likely the bottle neck.
From my initial research there are very few meaningful upgrade paths with my current system unless I move into the range of the modern AMD and Intel CPUs. However, upgrading to those platforms would require me to buy a new motherbord and DDR4 RAM along with the new CPU.
Budget
From what I can see this upgrade would cost at least 500 Euros.
My Question
I'm looking for advice on the most cost effective upgrade path, so hardware suggestions would be much appreciated. As well as a heads up on any pitfalls that I may encounter.
I have no preference between AMD and Intel
Thanks in advance for any help your able to give.
