8350 is the stronger CPU, but it won't work with an FM2+ motherboard. Reason you're seeing 15-30FPS with the 7850K is because they're using the onboard GPU. But then again, AMD isn't the best CPU for gaming.
 
Hi Leyha :)

Unfortunately your quite limited with your setup to run the games you mention at any decent FPS and with a budget of $120 you will not achieve the performance you want.

The FX-8350 (Cost around $150) is AM3+ so will not be suitable for your MB which is FM2.
You would have to upgrade the MB to use the FX-8350.
The AMD A10 7860K is FM2 at around $110 however depending on your current CPU capability it would be better to add a dedicated GPU for better Games performance.
 
MERGED QUESTION
Question from Leyha : "I need new processor"







For gaming: FX-8350.

Problem is, it won't work on your motherboard. The FX-8350 uses a different socket type (and chipset).

ASRock's own CPU support page lists the A10-7860k on there.

Any advice is dependent upon your current PC specs. An informed choice will depend on whether you have a discrete graphics card or not. But the main issue for gaming is GTA V as it is more demanding than the other games you've mentioned. I've seen APU benchmarks hover around 30fps I believe (depending on settings). Because the FM2+ platform is essentially dead, you won't be able to upgrade to anything which will give you a markedly improved gaming experience.

Depending on what you have now, it may even be more beneficial to upgrade the RAM as APUs benefit from fast RAM.
