Will this upgrade make a big difference?
Hi,
Here are my upgrades an I am wondering if they will make a big difference?
FX 8320 > i5 4690k
R9 270x > GTX 980
Asus M5A97 > Gigabyte GA-Z97X-Gaming 3 ATX LGA1150 Motherboard
NZXT T40 Respire > Cooler Master Hyper 412s

Thanks.

If your focus is gaming, focus on the single threaded benchmark (significant improvement with the Intel)

r9 270x vs gtx 980 - http://www.anandtech.com/bench/product/1043?vs=1351

So, what kind of difference will I be expecting whilst play games (FPS wise).


Please click the second link. It lists several games and their FPS with both cards.


Cheers mate.
