Hi everybody, it's been a few years since I've paid attention to the hardware scene so I'm a bit behind. Do you think it is worth it for me to upgrade my am3+ rig to an fx 8xxx series cpu? I recently got a gtx-760 super cheap from a friend, which is a nice jump from my gtx-460 but I believe I have bottlenecked my cpu.
Current rig:
Gigabyte 990fxa ud3 Rev 1
Amd phenom X2 555be (oc'd to 4.2ghz)
Reference gtx-760
Corsair tx650 psu
4gb gskill 1600 ram
I hate to see the X2 go as I got a gem (oc'd to about 4.7ghz on air for superpi runs I was in second place here for a while) but my fps in newer games hasn't changed much from the 460 to the 760. Do you think I could get a few more years out of an fx-8xxx or should I just take the hit and wait til I can save for an Intel based rig? (I don't see that happening anytime soon).
