So basically I currently have a Phenom II x4 945, and I plan on selling it for around $80 to a friend that wants a CPU upgrade, and If I were to switch to Intel I would sell my Mobo as well, to a total price $190 or so, and then buy the i5 and a board in the price range similar to mine(~140), So I'm wondering should I switch over to Intel and buying a new cpu and board, or is the performance gain not worth it in gaming compared to the FX-8350
Current Setup:
CPU: Phenom II X4 945
MOBO: ASRock MB-990EX4
GPU: HD 6870 (plan to upgrade to 770 in a bout a month)
Ram: 8GB
PSU: 750w
Games I usually play
Arma 2&3
Heavily modded Skyrim + Fallout
Battlefield 4
Occasionally some rendering as well.
