Consider the FX 9xxx series cpu. The one your listing is already up there in age.

Really? I fought I read somewhere that the 9xxx series was aimed at a special market, OEM comps or something and the performance increase wasn't very big.

Really not worth the premium tbh. Its the same CPU as the FX8350, but higher binned. Better off with the standard FX8350 or going with Intel - starting from the i5 4670K range up (I would go with the latter, personally) :P

So buttem line is that for an AMD fan like me, the FX-8350 is the way to go? I would think it's a fast processur since it costs more than $150 after all. All my CPUs in the past were around $100 and they did fine.

Intel CPU have much higher IPC and generally perform better overall across the board (have a look at benchmarks). Especially at games. AMD has been lagging a lot behind Intel in that regard, but of course its entirely upto you. With Mantle making some waves, DX12 on the horizon either one should be good to go :)
