Hello everyone. I am in the process of upgrading parts for my computer. It is used for gaming and the occasional netflix, mostly for gaming. I am currently looking for a new Mobo and CPU preferably $300 or less.
Currently I am running an AMD FX-8120 with a Gigabyte GA-970A-DS3 Mobo. I have no real preference on AMD or Intel, whichever one will do what I need it to do.
As far as CPU goes I was looking at replacing mine with the Core i5-3350p.
I don't know if I should keep what I have and just upgrade my current mobo since some people have told me it's a bad mobo, or just go ahead and upgrade mobo and cpu.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Also if this is needed, the GPU I am running is the HIS IceQ X2 Radeon R9 270X. I only mention this because if my current CPU/Mobo are bottle necking my GPUs performance I really want to get a new Mobo and CPU.
