Do not change your Rig.. Both of them give similar performance.. Though the i5 is a bit better but definitely not worth spending soo much to upgrade from a FX 8320..Stick with the 8320 and overclock it as per your need..

And there is no graphics card by the name HD 7920 so i am assuming you are talking about HD 7970 which is good..

Keep your 8320. It is about equal to the i5 so there is no point in switching...

Get 2*4GB 2033Mhz Ram Sticks .. The more the Mhz the better the performance !

What did you check? GPU-z only shows half of the actual speed because in reality 1600MHz ram is running at 800MHz. But then the (Double Data Rate) effectively makes it run at 1600MHz.
