Worth upgrading to intel?

[Lighthammer]

This is my current build

FX-8350

8Gb RAM

AMD 7850

Asrock 990FX extreme 3

 

The rig works well for the stuff I'm doing now, mainly gaming vanilla WoW, Crusader Kings II and Skyrim, it can max all of them so I haven't got any reason to upgrade. However I'm very hyped for Starcitizen and unfortunately I can't get it past 20-30fps on the lowest settings. So I'm wondering if I should just get a much better graphics card, or split it between a graphics card and an intel processor and motherboard. How much will the FX-8350 bottleneck the expensive graphics card? I've heard that Starcitizen is very CPU intensive, the recommended system specs doesn't even mention AMD.
I prefer to use AMD because I like to root for the underdog, but since they don't really have any answer to Intel I guess I have to go that way.

Get a new GPU.

Get a new CPU latter on.

 

 

EDIT - look at what is bottlenecking the games,

is your CPU at 100%, is your GPU at 100%.

What I would do is first upgrade the gpu then cpu first

I'd go for a mix of GPU and CPU upgrade. Something like an i5 4460 and a H97 or H81 board is a good choice. AMD's R9 390 is probably the best price/performance GPU right now.

Agree with above posts. Your GPU is first and foremost. But yes, upgrading to Intel is absolutely worth it.

The FX8350 is fine maybe look at getting a different GPU my Media PC has the FX8320E and it games fine using a GTX770 in that machine at the moment and even 1440p I get high FPS so maybe consider a GTX970 or R9 390X, I use to have a 3770k and I noticed very little difference going from a i7 to a FX8320E, Unless your going to be doing a lot of rendering then an intel might make more sense

 

EDIT: Also I wouldn't worry too much about what minimum requirements say they usually say way more than is really needed I have seen games that say they require quad core cpu's minimum playing on laptop dual cores without any problems.
