my curent build 

Asus M5A97 motherboard

AMD Phenom 2 x4 960t procesor 

2*4 gb crucial ballistix ddr3 dual chanel ram

Evga gtx 950 2gb sc graphics card

LC power  650W power supply

 

 

and my consern is that i need a better CPU but i cant decide which one to get since i am realy on a low budget and i cant get ryzen and i wont be able to to get it for a few years now for sure ...

so i was wondering is the old fx8350 still a good choice for me in this sutuation or should i just stick to 960t and get  ssd since i mostly play MMORPG games like Blade and Soul , Tera ...and maybe a few of the FPS like Far cry 4 ,crysis ...and you get the picture .

im curently on a budget as i said and i can aford to get either ssd or the cpu for about max 200 euros if i sell my phone :D

FX isn't worth upgrading to and an SSD won't improve gaming performance (just load times).

Yeah, until you could upgrade your CPU+Mobo+RAM+GPU ($450-500) there isn't much you can do to improve gaming performance. A cheap 120gb SSD would make the system snappier in everything else though.

Idk if 4-5 more years is possible tbh.  Lately more and more games are needing more cores and older chips with lower IPC aren't able to handle them too well.

Powercolor RX 480 8Gb Red Devil @1330Mhz

 

Bottom line:  Don't be a spaz or an 800lb gorilla when installing your expensive CPU, and you won't have any problems. --Phate.exe

Sounds like you are about to step into the used market.

 

You can look around and possibly find something that performs better than what you have now for little cash, though it's hard to say how long that new hardware will last.

 

You mention that you have no money, so why not just do what you can to make extra cash.

not worth the investment since i play old mmorpg-s and its not much of un upgrade if i get that il only lose money and gain maybe 10 % on performance and i can still play all games on high even some on ultra without a problem like battlefield 1 i play on ultra with 50+ fps crysis on 60+ and so on

 

its the mmorpg-s im having problem with around 20 fps with 100+ players in once place in Blade and Soul
