if you want to get AMD, you should wait for zen, buying those processors aren't worth it, they're 4yrs old. Consider getting an i5 6400 if you don't want to wait. 

Personal build >  New-ish AMD main gaming setup           

   PLEASE QUOTE OR @ ME FOR A RESPONSE xD

What is your CPU right now?

I wouldn't pick AMD as my CPU like ever. I would prefer i3 4xxx or i3 6xxx over any AMD CPU right now.

 

You can wait for Zen and see what improovements they made in few years ... The last "improvement" FX 9xxx was disaster. I hope Zen won't follow that.

i3 6100 or i5 6400 will be your best bet.

I don't want to spend the money on switching to Intel and I can't wait for zen and can't spend the money on the when it comes out.

Intel is honestly the only way you won't be wasting money. The amd ones are already out of date.
