It's not bad. Though you'll probably start being too long in tooth in a year or two. But then Zen2 will be out and have a good range of mid-tier stuff out.

You May check if your mobo and its bios are compatible,i'd do it

NOOO, you can't put a FX-9370 with 550W PSU, and a bad one too?! You could burn your PC, VS Series are really bad, butthey are cheap, and you get what you pay for, I'd say wait for Zen and upgrade your PSU first.

go for 8370

If you are on a budget or don't want to change your motherboard, yes. I'm considering the same. If you are willing to wait and save up some more money, get an AMD Zen CPU when they come out.

For either one, make sure your motherboard can handle it, and you have the right socket!

yes it will be a good upgrade

No you cant put this CPU on your motherboard, because they use different sockets. Your CPU uses a FM2 socket, while the FX 8370 uses a AM3+ socket.

its nice upgrade,wait for amd zen cpu….

next post is gey

Yes, it's worth upgrading. I don't know why Maester said you also need a GPU upgrade as well.

no its not wait for the next gen stuff to come up from amd such as the zen processors

I would honestly wait for a year, because next year will see the arrival of AMD's Zen and hopefully Skylake-E processors, which is what i'm saving up for. right now, the best bang for the buck upgrade for you is a gpu upgrade. something like an r9 280-380, or a gtx 960 are good gpus for around $200, but ive got a GTX 970 that i love, and i think itll hold me steady until the next gen of GPUs come out. if yo uare lucky you can find used or refurbished 970 for $260-300 Hope that this helps.

yes m8
