I know AMD is lacking atm compared to Intel but my budget build awhile back landed me with my current FX 4170 which don't get me wrong is a fairly nice CPU and pretty good oc on it sitting at 4.8 stable right now. But with the new piledriver's hitting the market I didn't know if it would be a worth while upgrade for one seeing as I don't really want to buy a new mother board for a I5 or I7.
Mainly playing wow atm, also running a Msi gtx 670. Which don't get me wrong with my set up now I'm getting very nice game play all settings maxed usually running at 60FPS (Vsync on) but some times I'll still dip down below that and I'm thinking the cpu has to do with it.
A big reason I'm considering this is a friend of mine has offered 100$ for my fx 4170 I've got right now, so basically would be a 100$ upgrade.
Any insight on this would be appreciated.
Thanks.
