I was asking in another thread what motherboard and processor would be a sufficient upgrade on my current components due to the fact that in large open world games I cannot run it with max settings, unlike more linear games with set mission maps that are more compact. So I assumed this was to do with my pretty bad processor bottle-necking my machine, I had these components suggested to me:
CPU: Intel Core i5-4460 3.2GHz Quad-Core Processor (£130.94 @ Aria PC)
Motherboard: ASRock H97 PRO4 ATX LGA1150 Motherboard (£70.76 @ Scan.co.uk)

I am not doubting the person who suggested these to me, I am just intrigued as to how these are an upgrade over my current rig and if these are worth buying to fix my problem. Thanks in advance, these are my specs:

Operating System
Windows 7 Professional 64-bit SP1
CPU
AMD A8-6600K
Richland 32nm Technology
RAM
8.00GB Single-Channel DDR3 @ 798MHz (11-11-11-28)
Motherboard

Optical Drives

THey would be a massive upgrade to your setup. APUs are good for low end gamers and HTPC and general use PCs. You have an APU. The i5 will blow it away.
