Should I change over from AMD to Intel?

[flamehead269]

I have the fx-8350, would it be worth it to change over to LGA 2011 socket and the 3930k, and upgrade from a 212 evo to a the H100i

my view is that price wise, its probly not worth it going to Sandy Bridge - E.

the 8350 is comparable, stock, to the i5-3450, and while it doesn't match the i5 or i7 when they overclock, its not far enough behind them to make swapping cost effective at all

No point at all in changing from an FX 8350 to anything intel sell

Yeah you're right, spending an extra couple hundred bucks, wont really make my fps that much better, and i am getting the h100i for overclocking and to majorly reduce cpu heat.
