Currently I am only able to run 9 clients on EVE Online
I would like to run upwards of 14-15
Current Rig
CPU: AMD 6 core 3.31 GHz
RAM: 16GB
GPU: Gigabyte Nvidia GTX 660
Powersupply: 750W Corsair
Motherboard: ASUS Sabertooth 990FX
With 9 clients running CPU usage according to Resource Monitor in the windows Task manager shows 70-85% usage.
RAM usage shows 70%
GPU usage is 744Mhz (which is 60% iirc) average 900mn Voltage 38-41*C
If a 10th client is turned on it causes instability and 1 client will inevitably crash leaving 9 clients active.
I divided between the idea to upgrade the CPU/RAM from 3.31GHz to 4.4-4.7GHz and 16GB - 32 GB or simply build a entirely new rig.
My current motherboard specs can be seen here

The CPU Ive been eyeballing is

The RAM should be compatible

Im fairly sure I will have to get a better Power supply if I upgrade.
So the question ultimately boils down to
In order to run the amount of clients I would prefer to, Should I upgrade? If So Is upgrading even possible with my current motherboard.
Or Should I bite the bullet and build a new rig.
I would of course prefer the cheaper option
but would love some advice either way.
