Should I upgrade My AMD 8120 to an Intel 3770K ?

[ShaneIFX]

Basic Spec:
Amd 8120 OC 4Ghz
GTX 670
6Gb Kingston RAM
650 Watt PSU

Ok so I don't get amazing FPS in games.
In the crisis 3 Beta I get around 40 FPS with graphics on the lowest, and it makes no difference how high or low they are.
This is what makes me think it's the CPU.
Will I get a HUGE FPS increase by Upgrading to the Intel 3770K ?

And is my CPU bottle necking my GPU ?

Thanks

Upgrading your CPU will give you same on highest settings but increase fps on low settings. For gaming you would get the same results with I5 3570K as the I7.
I personally would not bother.

I say stay where you are. It may not be as fast, but for games you won't notice a whole lot of difference. I am pretty sure it should not bottleneck you gpu.

Instead of spending $300+ on a new board and CPU, how about $50-75 on a killer cooler and take the 8120 up to 4.5-5Ghz?
