hello everyone, i have a pretty decent pc setup with an hd 7870xt, 8gb Ram and 1 tb hdd, however i made the biggest mistake of my life by buying an apu, the performance is horrible, after 2 years of using it i thought of upgrading both my mobo and Cpu to an fx 6300 and an Msi 970 gaming mobo, however, people are telling me to wait for the Zen series, should I wait or just go for the fx 6300, by the way my APU is an a8 5600k
 
As long as you are changing processor and motherboard (the heart of the system), you may as well move to an Intel platform if you want better performance at lower watts. You could start out with an i3 now along with a Z97 board. Then move to an i5 as funds allow.
 


If I may switch to intel, whats the best Cpu that I should buy which is around the same price as the fx 6300??
 


msi ms-7721 mobo and a8 5600k cpu
