My PC specs are:
-Asus M5a97 LE R2.0
-FX-4170 (4.2GHz)
-XFX 650w PSU
-R9 270 GPU
-8 GB RAM
Was wondering if I purchased an MSI Z97 GAMING 3 Motherboard matched with an i5 4670 (no K) , if it would benefit my frame rate in video games that are more CPU heavy like Total War or Arma III. Or if there are any suggestions to any thing else that is better but cheaper. Price range for about $360.00.
