Looking to upgrade mobo/cpu and keep same ram if possible. Possibly changing over to intel? The only real thing I play that I am getting held back on is ark and I think it would be wise to switch to intel for that.

Not really a budget but don't want to spend more than I need to obviously.

8350 is on sale. Would the 8350 still be bottle necking the gpu?

8350 used would be even better

You can oc it pretty well

I have an 8320 and a 1070 and run all my games at max/ultra

Bf1
Witcher 3
Overwatch
Fallout

We need a budget helps us determine what to recommend ty

gpu is kind of warm if this is idle

Arks not optimized and has always had issues.
Being as this is the only game that gives you issues save your money.
I can't even max the game with out shit fps.

this.
fx6300 is a good OC chip, and isnt worth getting 8320/50.
If u want better ark experience, definitely get intel. You'll notice the difference,
but games still not optimized and ur gonna need to spend $$

This. Never understood why ppl go from 6300 to 8350. Pretty dumb upgrade IMO

They don't want to buy a new mobo


Although this guy says he does so....



Cryorig is better
