hi guys i currently have an fx6300 and a crappy board. im wondering if i should just get a 970board and overclock to 4.5ghz will cost about $40 after i sell my board or completely shift to a used intel i5 3570 and i would need to add around $80 for a good motherboard combination after i sell my 6300 and mobo.

is it worth the extra $40?

BF4 and Civ 5 are some of the more CPU demanding games, I run an AMD 8320, my friend runs an i7, the different between FPS is <5 at any time in BF4, but also keep in mind my friends got a 780 with his i7 and I just have a 770. 6300 are fine chips I'm not sure why you think you should upgrade unless you have a couple 290x's in your rig.

You will see quite a big difference depending on what games you play. Multiplayer CPU intensive games will see the most benefit. I would go the i5 route if I were you, as $80 is chump change.
