So as the title says. I am not 100% sure I should upgrade my system yet. This setup plays games fine on medium to high. I LOVE to over clock and tweak everything I can tweak. I just feel its about time for a new system. I am just not sure what I have in mind will be a difference between night and day.
My system currently
Phenom x6 1100t @ 4.0ghz ,H70 cooler
XFX 6870 oc 985mhz ,Stock cooler
Corsair Dominator 8gb @ 1333ghz
Cheap gigabyte mainboard GA-890GPA-UD3h
NZXT Phantom case loaded with fans
I want to go with this
AMD FX 8350 @ 4.5-4.8ghz depending on temps
single XFX 7970
Corsair Dominator 8gb @ 1600mhz
Asus Corsshair V Formula Z main board for all the tweaking I love to do.
I fully have the money to pay for this maybe more. I am just on the fence whether or not I ll see a DAY and NIGHT difference. I know I ll get some pretty good fps and nice fast clocks. But is it worth the money? OR should I wait for amds next cpu? I am basicly saying, my current rig is enough for me. I love it, for what it is and how old it is, it does great. I am pretty sure with the setup I want I would see high to ultra on most games with single monitor 1080p. I am leaning towards just doing it. But I just want some input and suggestions.
I love playing things like Metro, Stalker, farcry 3, Crysis 1 2 and 3. Witcher 2, World of Warcraft, and every next gen new game. I am pretty sure this is something I ll do, I just need a little convincing.
