Okay, so I currently have an AMD FX4100 and obviously an AM3+ motherboard. I am finding I am getting low performance in games. I would like to have some increase in my gaming performance, however I am on a budget.
I have been considering an i5 2500k/3570k for a long time, however I would have to get a new motherboard making an upgrade very expensive.
I am wondering what AMD processors are decent for gaming ( I am aware that intel are better).
I am considering phenom ii CPUs and the FX8350.
Or, is the i5 really worth the extra £80 I would need to spend on a new motherboard plus the extra £15 over the FX8350 or even more over a phenom X4/X6?
Thanks
