So I was wondering what would be the best option for me currently to have a little extra boost in my system. First off here are my specs
Asus M5A99FX Pro R2.0 AM3+
AMD FX-8320 Vishera 8-Core @ 3.5 ghz (4.0 boost)
Sapphire Radeon R9 270x 4GB 256 bit GDDR5 x2 crossfired
Corsair Vengeance Pro 16 GB (2x8GB) DDR 3 PC3 17000
Rosewill Bronze 1000 Watt PSU
Of course a full tower with lots of fans, but not liquid cooled though the CPU heat sink is very large and keeps temps pretty low. I do monitor that. If you need any other info please feel free to ask! But I was curious if I upgraded my CPU to something faster, would it make a difference at all? My buddy says that GPU is what is bottle necking systems essentially at this point and I understand entirely where he is coming from, but I don't want to drop the money right now on a new GPU. I figured it'd be much cheaper right now to just upgrade my CPU than my GPU at this point. Any thoughts?
