Due to black friday sales, I have found a few upgrades to be in my price range, but I can only pick one or the other. My budget is under $250.
First option, FX-8320 and 250 GB Samsung SSD or 480 GB SanDisk Ultra II SSD. (maybe some better ram if I went with the smaller SSD)
Second option, i5 4590 and compatible motherboard (this would require fresh install of Windows).
My current system is an FX-6120, XFX 7870, 1TB Caviar Blue, 8 GB (cheap) kingston ram, and a 60 GHz AOC IPS monitor.
What would be my best option for increased performance in gaming? (That I can actually experience or see, not just increased benchmark scores) As of now, I don't see any future games that interest me, I mainly play battlefield 4 and 3, Tribes Ascend, Skyrim, and Sniper Elite games. I do realize converting to Intel would create some major headaches for me as far as formatting and reinstalling, but I feel that would be worth the performance increase, if it would be noticeable.
Thank You.
