Hello,
I was just wondering how big of a difference in performance I might see by swapping out motherboards.
I will post my set up below, but first, the MOBOs:
Current: ASROCK 880 GMH
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813157197
Looking to upgrade to: ASUS Crosshair V Formula 990FX
http://www.amazon.com/ASUS-Crosshair-Formula-Z-990FX-Motherboard/dp/B00906DHLE/ref=sr_1_11?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1394317154&sr=1-11&keywords=motherboard+990
Setup is:
FX8150 CPU
MOBO listed above
500 GB Hitachi HDD
7950 XFX Double D
Seasonic 620W PSU
Have been noticing some slow load up of games (I realize this is an HDD problem). I would like to fix that, but I do not want to go and purchase a 100+ dollar SSD or Hybrid Drive just to have my MOBO sucking my performance down.
Any educated response is appreciated!
Thank You!
