Hi,
I have had this gaming rig for 3 years and was wondering if I should upgrade to the new generation of AMD cpus. Where I live electricity is $0.27 KW/hr, That's my main reason for not overclocking. I hear the new 8370 is less power hungry and would probably give me a nice boost when gaming. The games I play right now are BF3, BF4 and Alien Isolation. Recently downloaded Planetside 2 but haven't played it. I like to play around with mandlebulb 3d(3d fractal creator and renderer), but not frequently.
