New Upgrade thoughts

[WelshSniper]

Ok, I have had a bit of a brain storm, Would the AMD Piledriver FX-8 Eight Core 8350 Black Edition 4.00GHz (Socket AM3+) Processor - Retail be a reasonable chip for what I want it to do, or again is that a bit over kill ? I have never really looked into AMD.

It's not a bad chip, rough review below shows a rough comparison.
