I'll start with my specs first:
Amd Phenom 955 @ 4Ghz with antec khuler 620
Gigabyte 990fxa-ud3
Amd 6950 2gb
8 ddr3 ram @1600
64gb sata 3 SSD
Basically I am thinking of upgrading my pc for when Rome Total War 2 comes out (current guess on system requirements are to be similar to shogun 2). I bought this PC before bulldozer came out with the intention of upgrading the CPU in it, big mistake. After seeing the performance of the 8150 I decided to skip.
The question is, price vs performance is it best to upgrade to the amd fx 8350 or buy a new mobo and intel cpu?
thanks
