Hey guys,
I have the following setup now:
AMD FX-4100
Asus GTX550 Ti DirectCU OC
8GB of RAM
1.5TB HDD
I'd like to upgrade my CPU. I bought the FX4100 last summer and I wanted to get the Phenom II 965BE because I mostly play games, but the dude at the store recommended the FX-4100 because he said it was the successor to the 965BE. Turns out it wasn't, I expected way more from the FX-4100.
I'd like to stay at my AM3+ socket though, because that means I won't have to buy a new mobo.
So my question:
I need a decent upgrade from a FX-4100 that won't cost me too much. Is a FX-6300 significantly better? Or a FX-8350? My budget is around €200,- max.
Is there an Intel chip that will still perform significantly better than the FX-4100 when I buy a mobo with it? I don't want to spend much more than €50,- for a new mobo. So is there a good Intel upgrade for max. €150,- from my FX-4100?
Thanks in advance
