Heya,
Right now, my pc has no motherboard or cpu.
My Power Supply is 7 years old.
I have a midrange card (GTX760), with 8gigs of ram.
So my question is: Should I go with the fx 6350, and a second handed 990fx motherboard (150 bucks total) or should I get the haswell i5 4670 with a b85 motherboard?
When I had my i3, I couldn't even get stable framerates on 768 low settings battlefield 3, due my powersupply. (50 fps and below)
If I go for haswell, I can get it instantly but with my older PSU.
Budget: ~220 euro.

Thanks, regards Paul~

I'd go for the i5 + the b85 (provided the b85 isn't 2nd hand).
A motherboard is the main part of a PC, If it dies, quite often other components will die with it. So to risk a second hand mobo that may have been overused or damaged isn't worth it. Plus the i5 is the better CPU if you have the money for it (ref. http://cpuboss.com/cpus/Intel-Core-i5-4670-vs-AMD-FX-6350)
