A question for you

Sorry for bad english

 

hello,

 

I want to upgrade my pc soon and I got 2 choices but I don't know what to do

 

1

get a new gpu (gtx 780) and upgrade my proccesor (fx 6100) to a fx 8350

 

2

get a new gpu (gtx 780), upgrade to Intel (i5 4790k) but then I need to replace my motherboard

 

 

Can someone help me what to do?

Option number 2. An FX8350 is barely an upgrade over an FX6300 (which is only a bit faster than an FX6100).

 

My recommendation would be to go with an R9 290 (unless the 780 is cheaper), and stick with your FX6100 until you're no longer getting the performance you want, then upgrade to an i5/i7.

quality post 10/10 lol

 

But I would agree with option number 2.

GPU is far more important for gaming, in my opinion the CPU is only for running games more stable while the GPU pulls the frames.

2.  Way better option here.  The 8350 isn't that much of an upgrade.  Also I believe you meant the i5 4690k.  Am I correct?

to a degree, but faster cores will help him out way more in modern games.

Well, an FX chip will definitely hold back a high end GPU (especially in games like Arma 3).

Second option, but go with 290/x and 4690k, you don't need i7 for gaming. But if you aren't only gaming, but also doing content production, then go with i7, otherwise don't

[Vypa]

If you're buying this, I would Suggest option 2 (but instead of a 780, get a 970 as where I am at least it's cheaper and has slightly better performance!)

I understand there is circumstances, but in an ideal world.

Option 2:

get an i5/i7 and get a 290X 

[Guest Philosophy]

Go for option 2. It will be better in the long run.

[halfbreed]

Well if power consumption is a legitimate factor then I would go with the intel. It also has significantly better performance including single core.

I'm going with the GPU upgrade first. In the future I'll replace my CPU and MOBO cause I'm currently not planning on playing the modern games (maybe advanced warfare). I'm currently playing games with an radeon 6870 from Sapphire and it's not as it was back in the day so yeah. Thanks for the tips.

Again sorry if my english is bad
