New CPU/Motherboard

[Wtedwards]

Hey Everyone

 

So I am wanting to move away from my current AMD setup I have with my PC. Currently I am running with an AMD FX 8320 with a GTX 970, as far as cost to performance ratio which level Intel chip is worth purchasing? 

 

Thanks for the help.

I'd either get the i5-4460 and ASRock H97 Anniversary (or an i5-4590 if it's on sale)

Will the performance difference in games be worth getting the 4590? I am relatively new to PC gaming so just want to make sure before dropping the money.

It was on sale for the same amount as the 4460 for me, I'd go for it since it's only like $10 more and the slightly higher clockspeed is nice

Performance won't be noticeable maybe by like 1-3 fps

I wouldn't upgrade from an 8320

i upgraded from the FX-8320 i had running at 4.6GHZ paired with a GTX780 (weaker than a 970) and IMHO it was fully worth it if you're any serious about your gaming experience and if you don't like running games such as dying light or GTA5 at 40FPS...anybody stating otherwise is clueless...the i5-4460 is a worthy upgrade to anything on AM3+socket including the FX-9590 but i would try to get at least an unlocked haswell such as the core i5-4690K.
