( should i upgrade? ) Pentium G3258 VS A8 7600

[ExtenZe]

hello guys i have a question 1 year ago i made my self a pc with an AMD A8 7600 APU.

now i got a GTX 750TI and at some cpu intensive games like Black Desert Online , or Tera , Witcher 3 i seem to get FPS drops.

Although my budget isnt that great i was wondering , should i sell my AMD A8 7600 APU ( to a friend of mine who wants it ) and get a lga 1150 motherboad ( Z97 chip ) with the Intel Pentium G3258 which im gonna overclock at 4Ghz or more? I mean will i benefit at cpu intensive games , cause im getting alot of fps drops from 60fps to 20fps sometimes! and if everything is going according to plan i could upgrade to an i5 or i7 later with the 1150 socket motherboard , So Pentium G3258 ( 4+Ghz ) or keep my A8 7600? Ty for you replies

Pentium will be worse in those games as it's a dual-core.

Well, the pentium has a great upgrade path, But you may be better off saving a bit more for an I3 or maybe even an I5. 

 

IDK if the pentium would be worth the upgrade, but the I3 (especially an unlocked one) would be.

Go for a i5 4460 + H81

You can do that I believe you can go high clock with the G3258, after you have enough savings you can get your self an i5 or i7. I say go for it

Just keep on saving till you can buy an i5 4460/6400

Definitelyl not. W3 can't really do with only 2 cores; in fact, I bet it's the GPU holding you back, not the CPU.

 

If you want an upgrade, aim for a 4460 + h81. Don't settle with anything less than that; if you can't afford it, keep saving until you can. Buy used if needed.

So should i get for a little bit more an i3 4170?? With a cheap motherboard ( as it has 4 threads ) and upgrade it later ..?

No. If you are only buying an i3, then don't. Stick to your current APU still.

I currently have the g3258 and im in so much pain when playing MMO like BnS. I regret not splurging for an i5 or i7.

im getting like 20 fps on the near lowest settings, T-T kill me please.

Yeah at witcher 3 my gpu isnt that strong to keep up . But a Tera and Black Desert Online when i got 60fps it suddenly drops to 20fps ( when i try to move my character for example ) and the cpu and gpu usages arent high . The cpu is at 60% ang gpu ( in tera especially ) doesnt go above 40% . So i was thinking to cope with an i3 for some time and later going to a i5 4460
