upgrading my processor

[Thomas1471]

sooooo going from the amd fx 8120 to the amd fx 8350 would be best or the 6300? which one would be a better processor?

Both are better, but an 8350 is better than the 6300.

so the 8320 would be for the best then? should i oc it at all. i have the asus crosshair V formula sabortooth something like that i think it is good for ocing im not sure, on a unrelated note how do i tell what i need 2 upgrade i have the gtx 660ti and well the 8120fx processor with 8gb of ddr3 i feel like it isnt running the way it should be. im thinking the processor is the problem not sure though. is there a way to tell?

the processor is definitely the problem if you're not happy, 660ti is fine for most games on 1080p ultra, with msaa off.

get the fx 8320 and overclock it. If you don't want to overclock, which I understand people don't like to mess with that stuff sometimes, the 8350 is fine and on par with the i5 in many games, although i5 does beat it in cpu intensive games.

even the 6300 would be an improvement because it's piledriver as well

If you're up for overclocking definitely get the 8320, it is the 8350 with a lower factory clock, so you can just bump it up and have an 8350.
