New CPU (and by extension new motherboard and RAM is also required). AMD FX 8300 is quite dated by this point and there's really no point investing money in to an old system like that.

Why do you want 32GB RAM?

[Needfuldoer]

It's not worth putting any significant amount of money into that PC if you want to use it for gaming, since the processor is almost a decade old and the motherboard uses DDR3 and the AM3+ socket.

 

More RAM won't appreciably help you with gaming. I'd recommend saving your money and putting it toward a modern platform instead.

Why you need 32Gb ram it do absolutely nothing on that system. If you want to change something on this is likely a waste of money and i think you should save that and swap basically everything once you have that much money.

Have you considered OCing your CPU? Since its AMD Fx they have a horrific IPC so OCing to around 4GHZ should kind of counteract that and increase performance noticeably. Best of all it's free!! Just keep an eye on the temps as these can be toasty chips, there should be youtube tutorials on OCing in case you never have before!

it has 3.30 mghz i think thats enough?

Na, you should OC it, couldnt find an LTT video but watch this and try, worst case it overheats and you have to bump it down a bit

OC it to the moon and it will still suck. It wasn't even a good CPU when it was released and that was ten years ago. At this point for "serious" gaming you need a whole new PC.

 

32GB of RAM is a waste of money.
