My current rig is:
i7 Bloomfield 920 *running at stock 2.67GHz*
The DX58SO Mobo
6GB DDR3 of RAM
Nvidia GTX260
Corsair CX600w
I am Soon Upgrading my GPU to the Sapphire R9 280 Tri X Vapor X Card!,
Since i am upgrading i think i need help with my CPU and how it will compare with my new graphics card!,I Do not know if my CPU is in the level where it is too old to handle today games *which are becoming more CPU intensive* comparing to the newer Haswell,Or to go with the cheaper option of a better CPU cooling solution and a Overclock as i know the i7 920 is very OC friendly!.
Did any of you stay with your older gen i7 Cards and made a move to the newer haswell ?, and if so why did you make that move ?
