Stick to AMD or change to Intel?

[Maioni]

Hi guys, so here is my actual build: 

Mobo: GA 78lmtusb3

CPU: FX-6100

GPU:r9 290 OC2 (i Have an other one lying around so am willing to get a xfire mobo maybe)

Memory: 8Gb 

HDD: 500 SSD + 2TB SSHD.

 

I was wondering, does my cpu bottleneck my gpu? From what I found searching it does maybe you guys have a different point of view. I get 35-40 fps playing at WOW on ultra, so I though of upgrading my cpu to an 8350 or 8370, or even going for an I7-4770K(or less if it doesn't requires that much) which would mean new mobo. What do you guys think?

 

What I do with my pc:

Mostly programming, playing games like WOW, LOL, CSGO, I know they are'nt that demanding but in case I want to play games like Witcher 3, or else I want to be able to, when I want to.   

 

thank you in advance,

Your CPU WILL Bottleneck in CPU bound games.

You should probably go for an i5... i7 If you do content creation

Intel, I'd recommend the i5 4690K or i5 4690 depending if you want to be able to OC or not. (K version for OCing, non-k version for no OCing, if you get the K version then go for a z97 mobo, otherwise h97)

an i5 is a better choice, very very few games take advantage of the hyperthreading of i7s, meaning they are essentially just as powerful as an i5 for gaming, except significantly more expensive.

I made a typo. I edited the post

4690k or 4460

Always Intel except for the 860K range

As most will say, Intel is superior in CPU performance. Get a i5 and you'll be set for 2-4 years. 

Get a 4690 or 4690K if you want to overclock. If you aren't inpatient you could wait for the 5670k to release.

Thank you guys for fast response you're awesome. 

 

I guess i'll go for i5-4690K and for the motherboard this one like nice, any thoughs?

I forgot to mention my pc is actually an matx, not a fan of high towers.

Either get a Z97 Motherboard, or a non K CPU.

Yeah i though about that but no, since i'll have to buy x99 mobo + ddr4 memory , so expensive

In Witcher 3 your CPU will not bottleneck, nor will it in any newer AA titles, however in WoW and League it definitely is bottlenecking as those games use practically one core (also a reason why it'd be pointless to go with i7 over i5)
