Hey guys,
I have an AMD FX 8350 and an ASUS Sabertooth 990fx. Ever since I got the 8350 last year, I felt somewhat regretful I didn't go Intel over AMD. At the time I bought the computer I didn't know a lot about PCs. I assumed since the FX is 4 GHz and has more cores, it was better. Also, my Dad works with someone who builds computers for a living suggested it too. Though, now that i know more about computers, I realize that going intel would have been better. So, I was thinking of selling my FX 8350 and Asus Sabertooth 990fx to my friend for a total of $300. Since it is in perfect condition, I've only had it for a year and I bought the two parts for a total of around $350, my friend and I think this is a fair price. If I did go this route, I would buy an i7 4770k for $250 from Micro center, and a good motherboard, (my budget for it would be up to around $300). The reason I am even considering this is that I recently won a contest and I have a decent amount of money to spend. But, what I am wondering is if this is even worth it. Is it worth an extra $250 for a new cpu and motherboard? Would I just be better off saving my money? Also, this PC is mainly used for gaming, coding and I will most likely get into Photoshop at some point before I need a new computer. Please ask me any questions… Thanks!!
My rig is in my sig.
