Hello,

I want to get some feedback on a new build I'm thinking about getting and also is it worth the upgrade vs my current specs

-Current System-
AZZA EOS 204 Gaming Case
AMD FX-8120
LOGISYS Hydro CPU Cooler
MSI GeForce GTX 680
8 GB DDR3 1333MHz
MSI 760GM-P34 (FX)
Super Write Master dvd burner
Corsair GS600 600W
Western Digital 2TB Hard Drive
Windows 8


*New Build*
NZXT Phantom 410
NZXT Sleeved LED Light
Core i7-4770 4-Core 3.4GHz
COOLER MASTER Hyper 212 Plus
EVGA GeForce GTX 780
G.Skill Ripjaws X Series 16 GB DDR3 1600MHz
ASRock H97M
Rosewill 40-in-1 USB 2.0 3.5'' Internal Card Reader
ASUS 24X DVD Burner
SeaSonic S12II 620W
Seagate Barracuda 2TB Hard Drive
Windows 7





 
Solution
In almost any build for gaming purposes, the i7 is overkill. Use an i5 and apply the $100 difference in proce to a better GPU for overall improved game performance.

Wouldn't I see a better performance with the i7 4770 + GTX 780 vs the FX-8120 + GTX 680?
