Should I?

[Derkrion]

I have the opportunity to buy a Core I7 3770k for $220 and a Mobo for $80 a total of $300, should I buy it and replace my AMD FX 8350? Will I see a huge difference? Will newer games perform better, or should I stick with what I have? Any help is appreciated guys!

 

 

PC Specs:

 

-GTX 970 ACX 2.0

 

-AMD FX 8350

 

-8gb Ram

 

-120gb SSD + 1tb HDD

I would go for it. The i7 is better for gaming.

Do. It. 

 

Upgrading to a i7 was the best thing ever for me

Personally I would say the performance iicrease isnt worth $300, maybe most an extra 15- 20 fps in games. Unless you are editing then it would be worth it. If you want to improve your game performance get another 970 if your motherboard supports it

20fps more would be worth 300 bucks for me.

15-20 FPS in games is a massive difference..

 

That's like the difference between a 970 and a 980 ti lol

My i5 4690K beats a i7 3770. So I would do some research into how reliably the 3770K overclocked because it it doesn't then you're no better off than a overclocked 4690k or 6600k.

Im not sure Its worth an extra $300 though

-.-

The 8350 bottlenecks a single 970 in a majority of new games, a second one wouldn't be worth 300

I'd say the i7 would be well worth it. It isn't near the end of its usefulness at all. The 8350 on the other hand has aged terribly. You'll notice a substantial difference with the upgrade even without overclocking, especially the minimum framerate.
