8350 + GTX 980/ti on 2K monitor

[0nard00]

Hi everyone, I'm currently looking at upgrading my system, as I just sold my FX-6300. I've been doing a lot of research on the price to performance of the next best AMD CPU, and I've been looking at going for an 8350.

I plan on using it for 3D rendering (C4D, Maya, AE), and Graphic Design. Some maxed out gaming from time to time.

My question is, since I'm also on the market for a high-end laptop, Is it worth the upgrade from this system? Or should I stick with my 960 and an 8350 upgrade? and will I need to move to a 700W PSU?

It's too much of a hassle to upgrade to an Intel system atm, so I'd like to build on this system and probably sell it off as a whole, soon.

Thanks.

By 2k, do you mean 1440P?
For gaming, the graphics card is most important. You may not notice that big a difference upgrading from GTX960 to GTX970. GTX980ti is as good as it gets for 1440P gaming, and even suitable for modest 4k gaming.

For your multithreaded tasks, the FX-8350 is a reasonable choice, assuming you have a better than average motherboard. What is your motherboard?
For gaming, the FX-835o will perform about the same as the FX-6300, few games will use more than 2-3 cores.

What is your psu now?

The FX 8350 has no performance difference in gaming in comparison to the FX 6300, I would spend a little extra on an intel based system to make sure the upgrade is worth it.

As for the PSU question no, 600w is perfectly fine for that system

I'm not really looking at an Intel system atm, unless I can sell this one as a whole system. I'm more concerned about the performance it can give when doing 3D rendering or multitasking.

A pc will usually fetch more if it is disassembled and the parts sold individually.
That is because it is unlikely that a buyer will want exactly the same pc.
Find your parts in used condition on ebay.
Then filter on completed auctions,
In green you will see what the part actually sold for.

Any help please? I need to buy the CPU tomorrow, and the GPU pretty soon. This is a multi-purpose system that I'd like to use until a few months into 2017.
