IMO an I5 or I7 would be much better for performance, but obviously requires you to change your motherboard as well. This is why I asked, but going FX 8350 would give you a boost, especially for multi core use.

Out of the i5/i7 bundles on here which would you get also I have a cool master 335

Jordan, the way I see it is if your going to spend £150 on an FX8350, you could instead use that towards an I5 bundle and have more scope to upgrade when you need it. :)

If it were me, I would go I5 6600k minimum, preferably I7, with an MSI Z170 motherboard. Cost around £300 on an I5, plus you can sell on your current set up to help offset the cost ftw.

Thanks for the help i would like it as a pre made up bundle so all I need to do is add my hard drives etc out of the pre made bundles on here for i5/7 which would you think is a good choice I'd say around £400 tops for that as I need to get a gfx card. & it would also need to fit in a cool master 335 tower

Thanks again.
