Would this be an upgrade?

[Ryan Kirby]

I currently am running a AMD FX 8320 on an MSI 990FXA-GD80V2 board. The highest stable overclock I have been able to get is 4.1ghz. I definitely didnt win the silicon lottery with this one. And I have also heard that this motherboard isnt the best for overclocking

I have had some interest in switching to a intel 4670k. I know with gaming the AMD keeps up and outperforms in some aspects. Would switching be wise? If so, which intel board do you suggest for overclocking? And if not, what is the best AMD motherboard for overclocking?

AMD FX 8320 4.1ghz
Corsair H55 Hydro Cooler
8GB Corsair XMS3 RAM
MSI R9 270x 2G
128gb SSD PNY
Corsair Air 540 Case
Thermaltake Smart 750w Bronze Power Supply

It would be a wise "upgrade" if you run applications that only supports up to 4 cores.
According to the motherboard, if you just want a cheap motherboard which overclocks well you can buy a AsRock Z87m pro4.
