Hello! I have a FX-6300 OC to 4.3ghz and a GTX 760 SC. I was thinking about upgrading in the Fall, but i don't know what to do. I can go different ways. I can upgrade my FX-6300 to an 8350, keep my FX-6300 and just buy a GTX 970, or i can just switch to Intel (Skylake). The games i mostly play are League of Legends, WoW, Borderlands 2, and H1Z1. I want to take advantage of the new games coming out like MGS5, Fallout 4, Rainbow Six Siege and other games. Money is not an issue, but i do want more for the money i'm going to be spending. Help me out here guys. Thanks

 Sure you can switch to Skylake but it would probably be expensive at launch and many months after probably. If you are on a budget you can get a i5-4590 paired with a B85 motherboard. :) It would give you better perfomance in H1Z1 plus you could play the latest games with it and it will last a long time for the foreseeable future. ^_^
