InCrYsIs Posted February 1, 2012 Posted February 1, 2012 So I am getting my tax return soon. I want to upgrade board and processor in the main rig in my signature. First question is: Is it even worth it to do so at this point? I am concerned with the age of the parts more than not doing what it needs to. Second question would be if I do it what should I get? I will need a MB, CPU and cooler. Everything else in my system is pretty new and can be moved over. I haven't been keeping up on my processor tech info at all. I know that many feel new AMD chips are not very good. User and tech reviews last I checked. I am not a big fan of AMD anything so no biggie. This 3930K seems kind of expensive for a 6 core. Just wait until Intel releases again? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boinker Posted February 1, 2012 Posted February 1, 2012 I would wait and see what happens if the system you have currently will everything that you need it to do. If not.. upgrade away. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waco Posted February 1, 2012 Posted February 1, 2012 I'd put the money towards a second GPU (if you game a lot) if anything. Your CPU is still more than fast enough for today's games. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately it is crossfire only. I had thought about it since gaming is all this system does. Thats another reason I am looking to upgrade to an SLI board.
