Hello everyone!
I was looking for some advice and was hoping that someone might be able to help advise me on which component to upgrade on my computer.
I have recently been considering either the Mobo/CPU (switching from AMD to Intel) or getting a new GPU.
Current setup:
ASUS MOBO w/ AMD FX 8350 (8 core clocked at 4GHZ)
8GB GSKILL Ram
Nvidia GTX 670(2mb VRAM)
500Gig Samsung SSD.
Solid power supply.
Considering switching to Intel 4790k w/ ASUS MAXIMUS VII HERO ATX, //// OR //// Getting a Nvidia Geforce 780 (regular or TI I havent decided yet) as upgrades. My question is, which would give me better performance increase for gaming?
Every benchmark I have used has shown my processor and GPU at around the same ' tier' of performance, which is making this decision difficult. I Eventually am going to rebuild a whole PC, but thought that I could start with one or the other ATM instead of throwing a ton of money at it all at once.
Any/all input thoughts would be appreciated.
Thank you!
