A while ago I decided to change my graphics card in my Medion PC, but since our vacation this summer was canceled I went a little crazy on the poor Medion, and ended up with such a setup:
Case: Fractal Design Define R4
CPU: Amd Phenom II x6 1065T 2.9 GHz
Cooling: Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo
Ram: 16Gb Corsair Vengeance 1866 MHz
Motherboard: Asrock 970 Extreme 4
GPU: 2xSapphire 7950 Vapor-X in Crossfire
PSU: Cooler Master V1000
Ssd: Samsung 840 500gb
HDD: 1.5 Tb + 1 TB + 400 Gb
The only thing I have kept from my Medion is the CPU and hard drives.
My question is, how much a bottleneck is my CPU, cause in for example Guild wars 2 I can't see that much improvement on the fps, and that annoys me pretty much, while I can play BF3 at max settings. Would it be worth while to complete my big project with a new CPU, while I still got the passion and little extra money to fiddle my Pc with?? or should I wait until something better comes out??
If it needs to be replaced, I have two I'm interestet in:
AMD A-Series A10-6800K and AMD FX-8350, they are almost at the same price range so which one would be the best?
I'm gonna play nearly everything with this Pc, Guild Wars 2, Borderlands 2, Battlefield 3, Grid 2, Dead Space 3, Farcry 3, Metro etc. and everything else that looks interesting.
I hope that there are people here who have experience with these CPU's that can help me out with my "luxury" problem
