That ' s a ridiculously lucky incident , I ' m still not entirely sure those two things are the result of one another . Anyways no matter the condition of the FX 8350 the I 56600 k would be a great upgrade . It should easily hold up 60 fps on whatever resolution That really depends on the GPU . It would honestly be a perfect match for your GTX 1060 . The FX 8350 is quite the bottleneck I ' d imagine , I had the FX 8320 4 . 7 Ghz combined with a GTX 970 About as fast as the GTX 1060 and some games dropped it ' s usage well below 80 %. GTA V , Farcry 4 , Deus Ex Human Rev . So enjoy the upgrade , don ' t forget that the K edition no longer comes with a stock CPU cooler so get something like the Evo 212 Air cooler depending on ambient temperature much more than this really is not necessary for overclocking the I 56600 K or the Corsair H 60 Water cooler if you can find one for 5060 $.
