Hey guys, i'm coming to "Upgrade on a budget" time. I've got a M5A87 with a FX8350 currently sat at 4.3Ghz (Cpu Freq. 210mhz ratio 20.5x CPU Voltage 1.35) and it's idling at 50C, which seems very high to me.

I was looking at upgrading to a M5A97 R2.0 because i've heard that the 900 chipsets get better CPU Temps. Is that true or is it a waste of £65?

My other upgrade option for my rig is to replace my freaking terrible XFX 7950 DD for a 780 (£100 mates-rates :D )

What does everybody think i should do?
