Should I upgrade?

[General_Led]

So I'm currently running a fx-6300. I'm thinking about going with a fx-8320 for around $140. I could probably sell my current cpu for around $80. Would this be a worth upgrade? And would my PSU be able to handle it and a OC. My specs are:

Save up until you can get an i5.

For video rendering and multi-threaded workloads it could be worth it...for gaming not really the FX 8 core won't perform really better than the FX-6300 when it comes to gaming...i think you should considering selling both your board and cpu as a combo online and consider something like an i5-4460 and an H97 motherboard instead as that would be a much better upgrade.

There is little reasonable reason to upgrade.  Neither will be as optimal as an i5 or Xeon E3.
