Well , grandpa is getting old. the FX8350 has been serving amazingly well on an Asus 970 Aura, with about 20 gigs of DDR3.
So far I've had zero issues. Mostly Windows operations, Firefox, Adobe Acrobat, casual overwatch at 1080p 60hz.
It still works, but I am looking at the market now (Wanted to buy a Bluetooth Dongle and asked myself, why don't I have Bluetooth ? Is it that old ? haha)
I'm seeing new AMD's, ryzen, and DDR4, and NVME Discs.
I looked at the graphs comparing 8350 to others, and they all show how x5 faster the new chips are.
In real life, on a loaded Windows and loaded Firefox over Dual monitors, is there a huge different in the smoothness between Ryzens and this ?
And if even the office environment benefits from Ryzens CPU's, which one is the best "bang for buck" for someone who keeps CPU's/Mobos for 5-8 years at a time (like me ? ) I assuming I dont want to get the Entry ones if I plan on keeping it like I kept the 8350
And one more small question - Should I also upgrade my Sata ssd to one of those nvme/m2 or does it matter less than the CPU ?
