Looking to upgrade my PC pretty soon and need some opinions on what the most cost effective, significant boost would be. Here are the specs.
AMD FX-6300 3.5ghz
16.0GB Dual-Channel DDR3 @ 800MHz
2047MB NVIDIA GeForce GTX 750 Ti (EVGA)

You might as well wait for the new AMD processors unless you wanna buy a whole new motherboard and CPU to make the switch to Intel.
>>
>>55692544
wait for zen and vega.

>>55692569
Your first choice wouldn't be to upgrade the GPU?
That's my bottleneck in essentially everything.
>>
>>55692544
Get a 8350, a radeon 390 and some decent ram. Why would you need 16gb of shitty 800mhz?
>>
>>55692647
It's actually 1600mhz, speccy reads the clock for each stick for some reason and I forgot to correct it.
>>
>>55692544
If you're on an AM3 socket (not an AM3+), then you'll have to upgrade your mobo anyway, so you may as well make the jump to skylake. Intel is beating the everloving dogshit out of AMD right now as far as CPUs.
>>
>>55692674
Because it's DDR obviously. You shouldn't blindly copypaste everything.

But seriously, a 8350 for $140, a 390 can be found for $160, sell the 6300 and the 750ti on ebay. BAM - you upgraded for almost nothing.
>>
>>55692602
Well then why are you asking for suggestions if you know what you want? What do you want to spend? Take that number and compare GPUs in that range.
>>
>>55692703
I've been thinking of rolling with the establishment so to speak, intel.nvidia.
Is there any significant advantage or detriment for AMD? Most games I play support the aforementioned establishment options.
>>
>>55692728
I'm willing to spend in probably the three to four hundred dollar range, could go higher but I'd prefer not to.
I'm asking for suggestions because I'm not super knowledgeable when it comes to tech. I can do is maintenance it and upgrade it. So I th

Price. As I said you can upgrade to a modern midrange PC for mere ~$150

Now let's see your option - i5 4670 - $230, a Z series mobo with a decent VRM - $150. Since nvidia has a shorter lifespan I'd recommend you to get a 1060, that's another $259.
>>
>>55692836
>i5 4670
Of course I mean 4670K. And that will be $280 instead of $230. My bad.
>>
>>55692836
The price is compelling, sure. But I can't say I've had the best experience with AMD, the entire reason I can't play planetside 2 is that it hates my CPU.
>>
>>55692860
>the entire reason I can't play planetside 2 is that it hates my CPU.

Can't be, I've played in on a Phenom 955. Must be your GPU.
>>
>>55692882
Nope. I can play way more graphically intensive games just fine. I run far cry 4 on a high-ultra hybrid set with consistent 50-60 fps.
Further, my framerate of like 40-20 in PS2 stays that way regardless of any settings. I run it at that speed on the lowest setting and INI file forced ultra.
