I have an AMD FX-8150 at 4.2GHz and it's been performing slower than what it use to be, i had it for a bit over a year now. I currently have a GTX 560ti and I want to replace it with the 770 and I don't know if my CPU can handle it. If it can't, what should i get? The FX 8350, FX 9370, or is it REALLY worth getting an intel ( I will get the 4770k if it's a big difference, and I have to buy a new motherboard). I mainly use the computer for gaming (World of Warcraft, League of Legends, and sometimes high-end grpahics demanding RPG games)

Intel fan boy above me..

The F-8150 will bottleneck a little bit (5-10 fps or so)
But it is NOT worth upgrading fx-8350 as there is not too much of a difference. I personally would still get the 770 if I were you. It's not a huge bottleneck and upgrading to intel will be way to expensive as you will have to change most of your system.

Get the 770, there will be a nice performance increase over the 560 ti

Alright thanks for the suggestion last 2 posts, I dont like changing my motherboard becuase my friend's PC crashed after changing the motherboard and i dont want to go through that haha. I have the budget of 400 (that is after i buy the 770) so I am wondering if I should get the 8350 since my CPU is quiet sluggerish lately and running loud.

I have a gtx 770 and a 8150. It bottlenecks like hell in games like battlefield 4, on some maps i only have 50 fps on low. the gtx 770 is a realy good card but i gotta say that i dont like amd and i have tryed it for 2 years now. Intel is the way to go so i thing you sould upgrade you cpu after your video card!
