Hello.

My current setup is:

CPU: AMD Phenomenon II X3 720
Motherboard: GA MA 790 XT UD4P
GPU: NVIDIA Geforce GTX 660Ti
RAM: F3-10666CL9D-8GBXL x2
PSU: Corsair HX750W


I'd like to upgrade to an Intel i5-4570 (3,2gb 6Mb cache) using a GA-B85M-D3H motherboard.

Now a few questions:
- Would I find any issues between these components?
- Would I notice any performance improvements (mainly in gaming)?
- Are there other (better) alternatives (CPU+Motherboard) within he price range of these components (300€/400$)?

Thank you,

Your current setup you have CPU bottleneck but depending on the game the new setup will be faster and no bottleneck! So in some you will see improvement. I believe you are making good choice in components.

Thank you for your reply.

While double checking the components I realized the motherboard is mATX, I should use an ATX for my case.

Would the GA-B85-HD3 work instead?
