Never go with the enthusiast platform, that'd just be wasted money.

Unless you're trying to run shit in 4k whilst streaming or something.

Ketchup is better than mustard.

GUI is better than Command Line Interface.

Dubs are better than subs

so is moving to Intel worth the £200-£400 price tag even for the 4th gen cpu's thanks for the quick reply :)

If you've got an 8350, no. Maybe with Intel's new consumer chips you can justify it but as of right now, you won't get that much of a performance improvement.

No

Not worth it just for gaming.

What do you play?

a lot of battlefield, shadow of morder when it comes out, a lot of assassins creed, crysis :)

Thank you, I got the 8350 hasn't let me down just I got a r9 280x and the other question I was gonna ask before you all wanna kill me is it worth going to the nvidia gtx 970 I know it's faster just how much faster is it? And for the money? :)

It's about 30% faster, give or take a few percent. You won't get much money for your old card so unless you feel like paying a good $200 on a 970, not worth it. But that's up to you.

Cheers, I just wasn't sure but thanks for clearing that up :)

What is usually recommended is a 4690K but it's not really worth it at this point.

Pretty decent video comparing the 8350 to a 4670K (both OC'd):

 

 

I'd stick with the 8350 and wait to upgrade.

System: Thinkpad T460

You'd see a better improvement from a new GPU rather than a new CPU. The games you listed are mainly GPU limited, that 280x isn't really a demanding card. Go for a new GPU and maybe later upgrade to Intel.
