I'm planning to upgrade my CPU in 2 days as I currently have an Athlon x4 640. (Experienced the bottleneck everyone's talking about but everything is playable) Does the 8350 have a big difference than the 8320 or could I achieve the same speed with some mild overclocking?
I have a Cooler Master V8 inside a Storm Scout which I have to ghetto mod (handsaw the drive bays ) to make the 7950 fit. Is the V8 enough to cool the 8320 with a little overclock maybe around 4.0-4.2ghz. If yes, I'll get a bigger case and keep the v8. If not, I'll get cheap water cooling like the h60 or a CM Seidon then keep the case and with that I could use the top fan of the side panel to blow fresh air in.
