I have a custom built amd based machine. I'm currently in sort of a dilemma on what to purchase first since i am working on limited funds from week to week. My machine currently consists of the following.
amd fx4100 zambezi clocked at the turbo 3.8.
MSI 760g p23 mobo
1 500 gb seagate sata 3.0Gb/s 32mb cache
serveral external hdd
Sapphire radeon 7850 oc edition.
i would like to upgrade my existing processor to the fx 6300 4.1 GHz turbo 6 core 95w vishera.
which i know is a minimal performance gain for gaming but it has an overall 15% increase in multi threaded applications performance over my current cpu.
My question is would i be better off performance wise upgrading to a motherboard with the amd 990fx chipset, a board with sata 6Gb/s and usb 3.0 and all the newer features and just rebuild my system on the newer board with my existing processor, or should i upgrade the processor first and then worry about the mainboard later on a month or so from now. which would give me the better performance while i wait to afford the other.
Any advice or opinions professional or not would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
p.s this is the board i am considering http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813157281
