Hey all,
Currently, my rig is getting a bit long in the tooth.
Build:
AMD phenom II x6 3.8ghz
Nvidia 560 ti
8gb 1666mhz ram
1TB HDD
Since the mobo is still AM3+, I could upgrade the processor to a FX8370E (overclock the heck out of it) and
choose between a Nvidia GTX 960 or 970, and finally, add an SSD (this is something I want to do regardless)
Is the GTX 960/970 a good pairing with the 8370E? (AMD FX is weaker per core compared to an I5 4690K, but would the disparity be huge?)
Or: I could save up to build a completely new rig.. just seeing if it makes sense to extend the life of my current build.
Thanks,
