I know the i7 is faster but how much faster?
Here is my system as it is now.
AMD Phenom II X4 955 - 3.8GHz
Corsair Vengeance 16 GB - does not run at 1600. mobo wont support the speed.
mobo
ASUS M4A88TD-V EVO/USB3 - AMD 880G - Socket AM3
GPU
gtx 580 gainward - bottlenecks due to CPU, i was told.
--------------------------------------------------------
Here is the upgrade
Core i7 2600K - 3.8GHz
Asus P8Z68-V LX Motherboard (Socket 1155 - supports 1600 speed for RAM
Corsair Vengeance 16 GB - 1600
gtx 580 gainward
I guess with the mobo and the CPU i will get full power out of the RAM and the GPU wont bottleneck so it will be faster but how much faster?
