Hi all

I need some advice as I am torn between amd and Intel. My goal is to be able to play today and the upcoming titles on high graphics and good fps. I likely to drop in a gtx 970.

Amd options are the 6300 be or the 8350, I can overclock, but what is my upgrade option in 3 years using the am3+ socket

Alternatively, there is the g3258 on over clock, that will give me an 1150 socket board with a path up to a ht i7 in the future. But will the g3258 when oc handle current games and those comingfor a few years, or is the i5 4690k best considered

Amd is the cheaper option in any case , but what does everyone think is best considering my plansto simply game and need an upgrade path

AMD FX do not have upgrade path,with their next series,they will be keeping for AM3+
Though overclocked FX 8350 is a good processor
i5 4690 is the great processor and will also support for broadwell processor.....
So Intel will be the best upgrade path............
