Hi everyone,
I am currently running a dual core and was wondering if it would be worth it to upgrade to a quad core with a new motherboard combo or would it just be worth it to stick with my current cpu and get a new motherboard for crossfire
current system:
core-i3-550 @3.2GHZ
Sapphire 6870 OC @975/1150
4GB DDR3
550w PSU
i was wondering if this cpu and motherbaord combo would be worth the money or if it would just be a waste

if the link doesnt work for anyone its a phenom II X4 955 BE @3.2 GHZ paired up with an ASUS M4A79XTD EVO AMD 790X Motherboard for $230
so would it be worth the money or would i not get really all that much for the 200 bucks compared to what i have now?
and if not would this be a good motherboard to pair up with my current cpu?

its an ASUS P7P55 LX motherboard for $140
so overall what would be the best bang for the buck option for me to upgrade?
thanks in advance
