Hello!
I'd like to start off by stating that I know basically nothing about Intel processors. My PC was born with AMD and I've never explored Intel.
I want to upgrade my CPU one day in the near future, and I've had a few friends saying I should try Intel, but I thought I'd ask the experts.
Here is my current setup:
Graphics: Sapphire AMD HD Radeon 7870 GHz Edition 2GB
CPU: AMD FX-8320 8 Core Processor, Overclocked to 4GHz
CPU Cooler: Hyper 212 Evo
RAM: 16GB DDR3 (2xCorsair Vengeance 4GB, 1xGeneric 8GB)
Motherboard: ASUS M5A78L-USB3
PSU: Corsair CX750M 750W
Case: Corsair Carbide Series Air 540
OS: Windows 10 Pro 64 Bit Edition
I'd have to get a new motherboard, but is it worth it? I'd want an i7 of some sort, but from there I am lost. My budget would probably be around £300 for a processor. Any tips/info?
Many thanks
