FX Chips are a waste of money they cost you more in the long run the power consumption is higher and it gets positively stratospheric when you start pushing them beyond 4.5
going from a phenom II to a FX 8300 will not net any real performance gains outside of encoding video
a z97 anniversary and a i5 4570 will run him ~300.00 shipped and in 4 Thread limited tasks will walk all over any overclocked FXChip and use haft the power doing it
hes at the point in the life span of his system where trying to milk any more from it is a fruitless effort
and if the power supply really is pushing 6 years old you are basically looking at a new system because I certainly would't trust it to run a high end FX chip they draw way to much power
