Hi, I've been posting a lot questions lately, but that is because I value your personal experience above all the charts and graphs.
So, I currently have a FX-6100 CPU, but its performance is not just enough for me. So, I decided, since I have an AM3+ MOBO, that I could get a FX-8350. It goes for a really good price in my country (around 160€). And, here come the questions: 1. I have a 600W PSU and I'm running a FX-6100 and a HD7870 off it. Will it be enough for the 8350? 2. I am using a Gigabyte GA-970 MOBO. Do I need to change it, or can I keep this one? 3. What do I need to know, before I eventually change my CPU? You know, security and stuff like that.
4. Is it good for gaming? I mostly play games, which are GPU intensive (i. e. Battlefield 3) and my 7870 handles them pretty damn well. But, from time to time, I also like to play some Assassin's Creed 3 and I know, that that game is extremely CPU intensive. Will the 8350 handle AC3 and other CPU intensive games well?
Thanks for your time!
