I know this is really subjective, and am not asking for exact numbers. Just an approximation of gaming performance increase.
Graphics card: R9 280x
Current Processor: AMD Phenom II X3 710
Sligthly Newer; AMD Phenom II X4 960T
Newer: Intel I5 4670k
Now obviously the ram would be upgraded with the new processor (currently have 8gb and can't remember the speed but it's not high).
I guess what I'm asking is that a 960T will cost me £60, vs around £330 for Ram + Mobo + Processor so is it 'worth' it? I know the I5 is a lot more powerful, but also that gaming is dictated by GPU not CPU?
Hope this makes since and look forward to any replies / opinons
