A8 5600k to Fx 6200

[rvmva]

Is this a good upgrade?
I have a spare fx 6200 and a mobo that my uncle gave to me few weeks back. Would I get a higher (rate of performance)?
Im asking you guys because i cant test my 380 to the fx cpu coz i'll have to reinstall my os and drivers.
My specs
A8 5600k
R9 380
8GB Ram

Sorry for my bad english

Yes fx would perform better

Yes, it would be an upgrade

EDIT: Accidentally didn't read that he had a motherboard, flipped out in terror.

You'd need a new motherboard. DO NOT TRY AND FIT AN FX CHIP INTO AN FM2 SOCKET! IT WILL FRY BOTH THE BOARD AND CPU!

relax buddy. He already mentioned that he has a board for the CPU.

Sell both CPU and motherboard to get a decent I5 and a motherboard?

In your opinion on scale of 1-10. How much performance increase?

I'm not sure if it can be measured that way. They're completely different CPUs. The A8 has a built in GPU, which is it's main strong point, but when paired with a GPU, it's main purpose is destroyed, and you're left with an extremely sub-par, bottleneck CPU, while the FX 6200 is built to work with a GPU, and not on it's own.
