Currently I am running an am3+ setup with an FX 4350, and because my upgrade options are slim I may just jump over to Intel all together.
I could buy and FX 8350, but I feel as tho I am cheating myself. My budget is 200 and I can get an i5-6100k combo for just that price. That includes the Cpu, motherboard, and ram. An 8350 is max for my current board, but If I go Intel, there are much bigger upgrade options later on. Would the i5 be worth it? Or should I just get an 8350? The reason for my idea to switch is because I would rather have a genuine out of box performance rather than a value CPU with overclocked performance.
