Hi,
Currently I'm running an old AMD Phenom II X4 965 BE @ 4.1GHz paired with an MSI GTX 770 Lightning for gaming. I'm quite conscious I might be bottlenecking the 770 Lightning and want to upgrade.
I was looking at the FX-6300 but Amazon have recently dropped the price on the FX-8320 making it now only £10 more than the 6300.
I was speaking with my boss about this earlier and due to my PC being connected to a 50inch 60Hz (600Hz sub-field plasma) TV, he doesn't think I will actually notice any real world difference for gaming. What are the community's opinions?
Here is my current 3D Mark Vantage (http://www.3dmark.com/3dmv/4944753) and Firestrike (http://www.3dmark.com/fs/1710349) scores on my current configuration.
