hi, im thinking about switching my cpu but it has to be LGA 1155 b/c i just had a new motherboard (z77a-GD65) right now i have an I5-3350P so will it be worth for me to upgrade ^^
Oh and another thing is does anybody know the length inside a Zalman z11 (i know it says 30 cm on their website but when i measure its about 31)
 
Solution
an HD8760? huh i bet it is an OEM GPU or something oh well

i guess if u want the biggest boost for the money it is a GPU upgrade

that thingy has 16 ROPs IMO 32ROPs+ are the way to go for 1080P lol

so for now get a GTX970 if u can afford it cant afford it get a R9 290 it will run hotter eat more energy but at least performs just as good

if u want more future proofing u can wait for the R9 380X god knows when it will come out tho
