I was talking about CPU intensive tasks like rendering not simple gaming where even my 8350 gets over 60 fps in every single game

it does not, just try dying light, hitman: absolution or just about any RTS, MMO, RPG or MOBA and look at it sink, i upgraded mine just over 2 years ago and you should do the same it's garbage for a gamer intel had better performing CPU in games about 8 years ago already.

no it's not? i'd take a single 980ti over this 1200$ worth of AMD GPU any day of the week!

That way you don't have to deal with crossfire nightmares and it always work 100% and it won't need 600W of power for just the GPU...
