Hey there,
I initially built a very modest gaming comp to run iracing and have upgraded to triple screens and a 780ti. Now I am worried that my Fx6300 and gigabyte 970 mobo are holding the rest of my setup back. Would going to a 4690k and gigabyte gaming z97 mono have measurable real world gaming effect? O would I be wasting 350 bucks for not much gain? Reason I am asking is a did a 3dmark fire strike test and my graphics score was good but my physics and combined score were quite low which I attribute to the CPU. I will be playing project cars/battlefield 4 so they are much more demanding than iracing, which my current combo runs great at a locked 123 FPS. The CPU is currently over clocked to 4.3
Comp specs
Fx6300
Gigabye 970a-d3p
EVGA superclocked 780ti
8Gb Hyper x 1600Mhz Ram
Thermaltake 750 watt PSU
Samsung SSD
