everything; hardware spec etc is okay

What is your current CPU, motherboard, casing and monitor?

I don't think there anything to change since you can afford it. Unless you wanna jump into X99 setup which is much more expensive.

im using fx8350 with asus rog formula v .. and samsung monitor, casing is cm enforcer ..

thanks dude

thanks ..

Specs are okay, no need major upgrade

imo, if u dont need those extra features from mobo, can change that.
anyway if u can afford it than y not

Seems ok. Ask yourself, how does changing the CPU/Motherboard/Casing affect gaming performance FPS?

Because it hardly does, even if the 4790K helps to improve in game fps, how much improvement would it be? 2 or 3 fps? And how much are you paying for the entire upgrade? RM2-3k?

Really?


The rest,you can search on google.

HOLY SMOKES!!!

Didn't know the FX8350 is that bad

Blerghhh even my i5-3450 is much better LOL

dude, do you think i should wait for the intel's broadwell ?

On that,i've no idea.I doubt it'll have performance increase,or even if it does,could be tiny.

Broadwell is a "tick" in Intel's tick-tock principle.

"Tick" = die shrink = more power efficiency

also internal graphic performance improve, but do you care?

bro if can, wait for upcoming new gen cpu this year.. i once owned fx8350 and now using i7 4790k.. from my honest experienced, indeed i gain some improvement like 5-20fps average in all games.. but does it really matter? even with fx8350 i can play every game so smooth always getting 60fps and above.. running heavily OC dual r9 290s and no sign of bottlenecking..if you oc the fx8350, the performance gap will be closer.. to me the upgrade only give me bigger number in fps and benchmark.. but in gaming experienced still the same.. unless you are using 120/140hz monitor. if using 60hz 1080p the gaming experience will still be the same.

if you can sell your fx8350 and the mobo with decent price, then its ok to upgrade. to me its not worth to spent almost RM2k just to get only 15fps more.. save your money for new gen cpu and gpu.. fx8350 is still a reliable cpu atm for sure.

bro, what kind of ram u r using ? suggest me the best if im going to stick with my fx8350 n my crosshair v (budget around 300-400)
