1) Overclock it. FX chips are made to be overclocked, if you don't do it you're just wasting your money. 8350 overclocks 500/600 MHz on stock voltage as a start.

2) Not all Ryzen CPUs are better.. the recommendation is that you have at least a hexa-core Ryzen, and even then it may not be enough for some demanding games. The problem is that the Bulldozer architecture is kinda bad, they group 2 CPU cores per 1 module that shares resources between these 2 CPU cores and stuff gets slowed down due to that. Ryzen architecture also has problems, cores are separated between 2 CCX modules and the latency is high enough that it causes issues on RPCS3 without running all SPU threads on only one half of the cores.
