I have three household computers that I am mulling doing processor upgrades. My goal is just to squeeze a couple more years out of these machines. We are not gamers. I live close to a MicroCenter in Yonkers, NY.
I currently have a Gigabyte 990XA-UD3 with a 1055T running at 3900 MHz. I don't imagine AMD will be introducing a AM3+ processor better then the FX 8350 so I surmise I would get one and ride it out with that.
The second machine is a Gigabyte 970A-DS3 with an unlocked six core 960T running at 3850 MHz at close to stock voltage. I was thinking of getting a 6300 since this board is an early model doesn't have mosfet heat sinks and I think is 4+1 power phase.
The third machine is an Asus M4A785TD-V-EVO and has a 965 BE. Any suggestions on a good upgrade this board could handle would be appreciated.
I know these processors are still adequate for my needs but Its a good time to upgrade and also support AMD.
Thanks in advance.
