What do you do with your computer?

Can you also buy a motherboard?

Is there currently any other things you could put the money towards?

What does the rest of your system look like?

I really wish that we'd just make organic hardware already, that grows and adapts to the demands it needs to meet. That way, grannies' computers can be floppy sacks of organicness and the 12 year old Minecrafters will look like the guys that only do bicep curls, and the nerdy programmers will finally have justice, with their body-builder rigs that skipped leg day.

with recent games only a small but noticeable gain as games are GPU bound usually

 

but in application like video/photo editing which depends on the CPU more

 

yes changing from FX to i7 will net huge gains

Budget? Uses? Currency? Location? Operating System? Peripherals? Monitor? Use PCPartPicker wherever possible.

Is your system not giving the performance you are looking for? 

Spoiler

Corsair 400C- Intel i7 6700- Gigabyte Gaming 6- GTX 1080 Founders Ed. - Intel 530 120GB + 2xWD 1TB + Adata 610 256GB- 16GB 2400MHz G.Skill- Evga G2 650 PSU- Corsair H110- ASUS PB278Q- Dell u2412m- Logitech G710+ - Logitech g700 - Sennheiser PC350 SE/598se


Is it just me or is Grammar slowly becoming extinct on LTT?

i just noticed in a couple of games that i was running under 40fps, and i figured it was my CPU

whats your GPU?

 

which games you only get below 40fps?

GTX770, and sleeping dogs, saints row 3 and 4, crysis 2 and 3, Hawken, and sometimes Payday 2

Just overclock your current CPU.  You would be paying a ton for marginal, yet noticeable performance gains if you went for an i7.  It is not necessary at all.  You have a powerful system, just OC your FX to get it to run better.

I personally would get an FX 8350 unless you want to go down the intel route of a 4690k and Z97 board.

No, stick with what you have and save your money. Either overclock further or reduce settings.
