AMD fx 6300 black edition vs fx 9590

[fastboyslim]

So just now i have the ever ageing fx 6300 which has served me well but with todays games it is starting to fall behind. I can get a new fx9590 for €150 as a replacement 'i know it is a much better cpu!'
But how much of a difference would i see in gaming? i mainly play games like fallout 4 and witcher 3! and use a 1440 resolution. Would this upgrade justify me spending the money?

p.s i do not have a bank of mum and dad so this is my budget and wont be waiting for ryzen.

cpu. amd fx 6300 black edition
amd r9 380 4gb
12 gb 1886 mhz ram
evga 750 watt gold 'yeah i know it is overkill'

If you do not have a good 990FX motherboard and far better cooling than a stock AMD kit then don't even bother looking at the 9590.

It puts out massive amounts of heat. Liquid cooling or a high-end heatsink and fan.

motheroard i am using is a gigabyte ga-78 lmt and i have an Artic cpu cooler 'dont know which one' but if it helps! max cpu temps were about 55c in the summer time with tempetures outside plus 30c

That motherboard does not support the 9590 at all. Don't put one in it. You'll likely fry many things.

Save your money and wait for Ryzen. Why are you not posting in Hardware and Operating Systems (Link)?

ok thanks for the feedback and research
i am guessing the fx 8370 that my motherboard can take is not going to make a massive difference to my setup!
Think i will wait a couple of months and save up some more then! for a better updgrade.

Which is exactly why you should wait, the introduction of Ryzen should cause some pricedrop on pretty much any CPU on the market.
