Hello there, I’ve got offer to upgrade my FX 6350 to a newer i5 6600 for a just around 110$ with mother board and 16g of RAM. Will it hold up with my actual GTX 970? I just wanna play games like Apex, Horizon 4, ... in 1080p. Do I should upgrade?

Yes its a worthy upgrade if you got it that cheap.

The AMD FX line was rather crap.

Well if thats all they have is 110$ then sure go for it, I mean not everyone can afford brand new parts and you get what you can get

Sell your mobo and CPU and get an r5 1600 combo with B450 Pro4 plattform

 

4c/4t isnt something to aim for atm.

It's worth it. I've owed both of those chips a few years back and the i5 will provide a significant performance boost.

Intel Core i7 9700F / Cooler Master 212 Evo / GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER / 16 GB G.SKILL RAM @ 2666MHz / GA-B365M-DS3H / EVGA 500w PSU

HP Pavilion Gaming 15 / Ryzen 5 4600H / GeForce GTX 1050 / 8 GB @ 3200MHz
