Hello guys,
I've been struggling those last days trying to decide which path i should choose concerning my FX 4300.
Originally, I was thinking on the FX8350 since it has a good price by the performance it offers and there's Directx 12 miracle in the horizon. - the problem here is that i think i would need a watercooler (thinking about H80i) my gaming room is pretty hot reaching 86 ºF on summer.
In the other hand, is i5 4690K, seems to perform better (mostly in single core apps), uses almost half of the energy and would not need the watercooler (i'm guessing this).
My actual mobo was bought with one objective "hold everything together", so i'm changing it too. If AMD was the answer, i'd go with the MSI 970 Gaming.
My dilemma here is that, in price terms:
FX8350+H80i = i5 4690K
But what about performance? Would the i5 be that better? Better enough to lose hopes on Directx 12 using high core number?
Did I missed something? Am I thinking right?
Thank you, and sorry for the long text!!
