Upgrade CPU or New Build?

[Jaxun]

Should I start saving to build a new P.C or upgrade the CPU in my existing one? The build is quite old, and I'm not sure if it's worth it keeping the motherboard going.

 

EVGA Gtx 760 - GPU

MSI NF980-G65 - MB

8gb 1333mhz ram - RAM

AMD Phenom ii x4 965 black 3.4ghz - CPU

 I would definitely upgrade to something Intel like an I5 or an I3.

That's what I was thinking as well, thanks for the opinion

My budget is around $200. I live in Ontario, Canada.

If you are just wanting to game then at the moment Intel is definitely the way to go for a build.

I'd save up for a new build all together. Your current system isn't by any means bad, so it can last a few more months, and if you build a new one you'll have the old one to do whatever with

Upgrade your CPU and motherboard, the rest of your PC should be just fine for a while

I would save up for a 4690k and a z97 mobo.

 

you could also benefit slightly from OCing your RAM to 1600mhz

I also use adobe after effects and sony vegas sometimes to do some video editing. Would an i5 around $200 be okay for this? Something like the i5-4570 or i5-4670?

An I5 would be ok for it all though an I7 would perform much better but it's about $100 more expensive.

I was gonna say the same thing, Homer.

Thanks everyone for the input  I will look into some new Intel's! I will def build a new p.c sometime, but maybe not in the near future.
