change processor to amd fx 8320

for fx you need an am3 + socket without it, I would not install it and it’s not a fact that it will work
, the processor starts to “choke”, textures disappear,
it all looks like a bug in the memory controller that I had fx se. I'm not familiar with phenomena 2, so I can't say anything.

socket am3 + is, the mother is ASUS M5A97 LE R2.0, and the processor does not pull the vidyukha itself, the vidyukha works at 60-70% and does not go any further due to a weak processor

. there will be an ubgrade with minimal costs, then you can buy a better couple if necessary.

If possible, then change the platform to Intel. If there is no possibility, then you can take 8320. But in order for it to load the 970 card, it needs to be driven decently.

No "@#! 8320 with their fucking bulldozer", if fx is going to start with 8350

with a surcharge - this one is more interesting -
SpoilerAMD FX-8370

I really like AMD, but I would advise you to see what Intel offers for the same price along with a new motherboard. A good, relatively inexpensive bundle of processor + motherboard will cost $ 300-360 (for example, i5-4670 + mother on the Z97 chipset)

I changed x6 to 8320, overclocked it to 4.4ghz with a voltage of 1.42 for a constant (higher is possible - but it's too hot in the summer when it heats up) 60-70%, respectively, the fps fell, on 8320 the load was stable at 95-99%. Rendering in Sony Vegas has become faster.
And you have 970 djiforce, so definitely, if you don’t want to completely change the system to intel, but you want to increase performance, then you need to take 8320.
The only thing you need to check is whether your mother supports processors on the am3 + socket.
It's also funny to read the comments above from people who advise taking 8350 or 8370, when 8320 can be easily overclocked to these frequencies.

my 8320 works at a frequency of 4.61 with a voltage of 1.49 + cooling from the zalman, it doesn’t heat up above 59gr, it makes no sense to overpay 30% -35% of the cost for older models, it’s better to take the norms of cooling with this money and drive twenty to the same 4.6 -4.8, but then how lucky with the stone, after 4.77 I start having minor errors and heating 70+, but it’s worth dropping to 4.6 and everything is like clockwork.

But in fact, the difference between 4.4-4.5 and 4.6-4.8 is not so significant that it would torment the percent with such tension, even in the presence of dropsy.
And what kind of zalman is such that at 1.49 above 59 the percent does not heat up?

Optima or performance, I don’t remember exactly, I put 2 coolers on it for blowing, and he set the voltage himself automatically, I didn’t play with manual settings, I set everything automatically
