After many hours of research as to why my FX 6300 seems to be such a bottleneck, I have come across a possible solution. Apparently, FX CPUs perform much better with faster ram, preferably dual channel ram, and I only have a single stick of 1600 MHz ram. Would upgrading to dual channel 1600 MHz ram significantly improve performance in games? If not, should I upgrade to Intel now, wait for Broadwell, or wait for Skylake? Thanks in advance.
My rig is:
FX 6300 CPU (Stock)
EVGA GTX 970 SC GPU
ASrock 990fx Extreme3 MOBO
8 GB 1600 mhz RAM (Single Channel)
1 TB WD HDD
