HAY GUISE WUT UPGRAYED IZ GUD
(cool bird edition)
$425 to upgrade
Current machine:
Phenom 965be @4.2ghz
GTX580
Proposed upgrade:
FX8350 black edition
XFX RX480 GTR OC black edition
I thought about making the switch to intel but that would require the purchase of a new mobo,cooler etc
I thought about waiting for Ryzen but I doubt the base model chip will be $150, but again, i'd have to buy a new mobo, cooler, etc
I will never install windows 10, so dx12 is out of the question (cries over forza)
I cant really save any more, in a paralyzed portion of my life right now, fucked up spine and cant work, but i managed to sell some shit to upgrade my rig, so hey why not as I'm on it all the time anyway.

There'll be a $150 Zen model, certainly won't be eight core, but there'll be one.
Considering the IPC gains you really should wait.

yeah but ill need to buy another motherboard, and cooler... which will destroy my budget, and i already have basically the best am3+ board and cooler money can buy
when i get excess cash its like a windfall, so i want to maximize my upgrade potential with my limited funds

Christ, do not buy such an old platform right now, you goddamn mook. Either buy an Intel or wait to see what Zen can do (and then probably buy intel anyways)
