Okay, so I recently pick ed up a 780ti, but im only getting Hald og the fps i should, im going to get a New cpu..

I dont know whuch one to get but as im using an old fx4100@4.5gHz, it would be cheapest for me to stay amd, or should i still go nvidia. Come along with some cheap configs That will make my 780ti 100% game :-)

i5-4460 + h97 board or z97 board if theyre the same price for an easier upgrade path.

 

whats your budget?

Yeah, the 4460 and an H97 or Z97 board would be the best way to get a cheap yet powerful upgrade that's modern and supports the latest of Intel's features.

ezpz. great upgrade. i put a z97 because it's pretty much the same price as the h97 and it is easier to upgrade to something like an i7-4790k or the new intel line (cant think of the name off the top of my head)
