Ryzen 5 vs FX 8350

So i've been waiting for ryzen 5 for a while now and i'm planning on upgrading to it however, i haven't really seen it put up against the FX lineup. My 8350 is only 2 years old at this point and it's still going strong so i was wondering is it worth getting ryzen 5 now or waiting a little while and sticking with the 8350? I mostly use my PC for gaming and i have picked up some CPU heavy games recently which the 8350 is struggling with a little but is easily rectified by changing the settings down lower.

 

Current build: 

FX 8350

Sapphire R9 fury nitro 

8GB kingston HyperX fury ram

Gigabyte 970 gaming motherboard 

CX 750W cosair PSU

 

planned build:

1600

MSI X370 Pro Carbon motherboard

16GB Kingston DDR4

remember the platform is only 6 weeks old, theres a lot of improvements to come, I would say it will be a decent upgrade if you opt for the 6 core variant

Yeah that's what i was thinking, ryzen 7 is a little out of my price range and i have no real need for an 8C/16T CPU

No

 

 

Still better than an atom CPU :) 

Make sure to quote me or tag me when responding to me, or I might not know you replied! Examples:

And make sure you do it by hitting the quote button at the bottom left of my post, and not the one inside the editor!

Buy whatever product is best for you, not what product is "best" for the market.

 

Interested in computer architecture? Still in middle or high school? P.M. me!

 

I love computer hardware and feel free to ask me anything about that (or phones). I especially like SSDs. But please do not ask me anything about Networking, programming, command line stuff, or any relatively hard software stuff. I know next to nothing about that.

Yeah, i didn't realise two years ago that getting an 8350 was kinda trapping myself a little on a platform with no real upgrade path after it, was a bit of a tech noob at the time :)

Id upgrade, if you're playing more cpu heavy games it makes sense to. Remember you are going to need atleast 3000mhz ram Here are benchmarks for a fx 8370 compared to ryzen 5 and 7 http://www.gamersnexus.net/hwreviews/2822-amd-ryzen-r7-1800x-review-premiere-blender-fps-benchmarks/page-7
