Not sure what my best upgrade route is (mainly gaming). The situation/options are:
The new AMD 1700 + motherboard is $450(cad). Not too worried about current gaming hiccups.
The 1600X gets released on April 11 which is a good slightly cheaper AMD option but I don't know how it compares with the 1700.
Can get what I believe is an i7-3770K from my brother. The motherboard is about $120(cad) at the cheapest.
Upgrade the chip in the current motherboard(lga-1150) What I've seen from preliminary searches are about $330(cad)
