Hello guys.I currently have an old fx-4130 with a msi 970a-g43 mobo and i'm thinking about upgrade.i'm just doing some programming and adobe photoshop,mainly gaming(the likes of gta v,arma 3,anything).so the question is:should i upgrade the cpu with another fx?(thinking about 8350 or 9370)or upgrade with intel(it would take me a year to save for an i5/i7+new mobo,either skylake or haswell refresh)or wait for the new zen architecture until the end of this year?i just got a 380x and a new laptop,so my budget is around 200$,can get it to 250$ if necessary.for what i am doing,will an i5 make a big difference over the 8350?for example the 4690k is better in single-core performance and a better performer in games overall,but is it worth the extra $?
