upgrading from AMD to Intel

[jammy]

Hi guy im currently rocking a FX 6300 @4.6 but maybe looking to jump ship and move over to Intel on a i5 3570k. Reason being that a couple of my friend have the same gpu as me but are using intel chips which gives them slightly better average frame rate, the real reason I want to change is that my minimum fps compared to there's is awful when the screen is suddenly full of action or stuff or explosions then there games keeping running smooth ( though drops some fps like you would expect) but me using the same graphics card and an AMD CPU my minimum fps drops off a cliff and jumps and chugs along for a few seconds till the action dies down which as you might guess is awful for any online gaming so what do you guys think should I upgrade from a FX 6300 to a I5 3570k.

well you already have the am3+ board get an 8320 and overclock it then you should be fine for gaming 

[Ilumic]

you will have to get a new motherboard  

[bamerx98]

I would jump up to a 8350 and overclock it like youve done with your 6300 for max performance and youll get more then a 3570k performance some were in between the i5 and i7

Get an 8350 and overclock it, if you jump on the intel platform you will need to get a new mobo.

is that even really an upgrade? is it worth it? i really dont think so. dont upgrade ir upgrade to something a little more worthwhile

does an 8350 overclock ok on a 760g chipset cause thats what im running at the mo

Nopenopenopenopeneonpe, 990FX based motherboard is recommended for the 8320 / 8350 etc, the VRM on the lower end boards just can't handle the chips when overclocked and you may burn the motherboard out.

Your FX 6300 at stock is as fast as a 2500K, overclocked is faster than a 4670K.
You have a pretty good system, upgrade to an FX 8350 or an FX 8320 if you must, otherwise you have pretty epic build.

Upgrade to a FX 8320

[TERAFLOP]

Your FX 6300 is faster than a 2500K, which is basically 5% slower than a 3570K, really no point in upgrading.

@ OP, which game do you experience the frame drops in ? what graphics card do you have ?

I concur with @TERAFLOP, was actually googling for the same BF4 graphs as he, but he beat me to them.
