I have no idea what kinda of motherboard you have now but make sure your new cpu has the same socket type if your keeping your old one. I am an Intel fanboy but i know someone that just got this an AMD fx-8350 and they like it

Fairly positive this is my motherboard https://www.asus.com/Motherboards/F2A55M/ thanks for the response by the way

ok, this seems to get good reviews and it is the socket type of your motherboard

if you go this route then invest in a good cpu cooler because it says it runs hot!

Thanks for your response, I was planning on using this cpu to play mmo games like black desert better but when i read some of the review it said it wasn't very good for things like this. Is this true or were those review just a little off.

Honestly i'm just going off reviews aswell. you should go to pcpartpicker.com and look for a good cpu in your price range. make sure it has your socket type i believe it was fm2. Go off the reviews and then compare it to other cpus within the same price range and you should be able to find what you want.
