Cpu/motherboard Upgrade


Recommended Posts

About to invest a little more money in my PC, right now i am using:

AMD-4300 quad core

ASUS M5A97 motherboard

GTX 760 GPU

600w power supply

2TB HDD.

 

 

 

I am considering getting a AMD 8350 with the motherboard in this combo deal from newegg.

Thoughts? is the power supply large enough? Good idea or waste of money?

No budget really but im not wanting to spend a whole lot more/less. Should i see a pretty big increase of performance? Might go with this as a MOBO though instead of the package deal

I'd pick the gigabyte board of the asus personally only because I have had good experience with gigs tech support and terrible with asus.

But if I were you I would go with an intel combo instead of the AMD.

Do you live near a frys or microcenter?

 

Also intels new chipset and cpus came out yesterday and the unlocked versions (if your into overclocking) should be released soon.

Anyways the new i5 or i7 + http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128708 or http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813157505 would work nicely.

If you do not want to wait for an unlocked version since the performance increase really isnt that much then go with a i5 4670k or 4770k + either of the two above or a z87 chipset

My preference being the gigabyte board.
