I am buying Kaveri APU because of its powerfull IGPU, but unsatisfy with its limitation so I put a discrete card GTX950 on it. It does could run most modern games in 1080p...however thinking that all APU's never have very good CPU performance compare to Intel's, I am wondering if I will get significant boost in gaming performance by upgrading to Core i5-2500K processor pairing with Z68 board and GTX950 card. I know the socket difference so beforehand I have to sell the APU, FM2 board -and possibly RAM too, to buy a used i5-2500K with Z68 board.
I need some advice if this upgrade worth the troubles or not.
My system :
AMD APU Kaveri A10-7850K
MSI A88X G45 Gaming
Galax GTX950 2GB DDR5
Patriot Viper 8GB (2x4) DDR3 PC17000
Corsair VS450
