I currently own this setup.
GTX 670 Gigabyte 2GB
AMD 1090T 3.712ghz OC
8GB Corsair Vengeance
Hyper 212+ EVO
ASUS M4A89GTD PRO USB3
OCZ Stealth X2 700w
Right now, it seems to be running most games no problem. But, I've been having frame rate drop issues in a lot of more depending games. Such as, Battlefield 4, METRO, Crysis, Rome 2 Total war. I've been told many times it's a CPU bottle neck. But, then others with the same CPU have said no because they're getting great smooth game play on the same games with similar GPUs.
In short, I'll be playing Battlefield 4 for example. I usually get a solid 85fps+. Then suddenly I'll get a drop to 35fps-45fps. It usually happens during the more intense action parts. But, it lasts for about 30 seconds and while still lots of stuff happening on the screen it will fix it self. This happens for all the other higher end demanding games also. But of course not for source engine games or older games.
If it is a CPU bottleneck. What is a good alternative that will last me into the new generation of gaming for a bit. Like two years or so. I don't wanna spend too much money on it but I'll be willing to because I may be able to get a good deal for boxing day (Canada black friday). And might be able to get higher end CPUs for a good price. Maybe give me a list of the best of the best to the lowest I should go before it wouldn't even make a different upgrading from my 1090T.
I've been debating on going with AMD to the 8350. I would first go buy a AM3+ motherboard and then transfer all my parts over too it. Then on boxing day I'd buy the 8350 or if I find it on a good price somewhere. I'd probably SLI my GTX 670 in the future also to continue adding more power.
In conclusion. What is causing my FPS drops? Is it really my older socket 1090T? Maybe my over clocks are hurting my hardware? I have ran prime95 for a bit and had no issues or crashes and good temperatures. As well as my GPU stress testing it and getting its make temperatures and they are low also.

I would go with 6300 or 8350!
