Z97 Help!

[maizepath]

Hey guys,

 

I have a problem. I am about to upgrade from AMDFX to Z97, but i dont know if i should buy the G3258 and wait for Broadwell, or wait till i have some more money and buy a I5 4690K?

My current cpu is a FX6300.

G3258  is a good chip. No better time than the present, you can always upgrade to an i5 or i7 if you find yourself needing it. What are you using it for?

[GarnetDevil]

You CPU can still kick ass until newer Skylake so I suggest saving for it

[OnekillWalter]

save for an i5, fx-6300 is still decent.

Wait and get an i5.

switching from a 6300 to a G3258 isn't what i call an upgrade.

This.

Wait for the i5. FX-6300 will survive. Maybe overclock the fx cpu?

Save for an i5.  However,  I don't think it is worth it to wait for Broadwell, as its only expected to bring about a 3% performance increase over devil's canyon and haswell.  Skylake isn't expected until Q2-3 of 2016, and its performance is unknown.  An i5-4690k is an incredible processor that will be a massive upgrade to your FX6.

Agreed.
