Cpu upgrade question?

[TerabyteMike]

In the future once zen and thr new intel cpus are released i will weigh up my options on the best cpu available. I currently have an fx4130 in my rig. I have the option of getting an fx 8320e for £108 and am just wondering wether I should I upgrade the CPU now just until my full rig upgrade or get an ssd or something instead? Help would be great

List your system spec please.

Fx 4130
Asrock 970 extreme 3 r.20
16 GB Kingston hyper beast ram
R9 290x

I know the motherboard isn't the best for 8 core CPUs but thats why I would go for an 8320e with the lower tdp at 95w

An SSD will make load up and start up times so much faster its a must imo 240gb i would sugest.

My basket at Overclockers UK:

• 1 x Kingston HyperX Savage 240GB SSD 2.5" SATA 6Gbps Solid State Drive (SHSS37A/240GB)= £55.99

As for the cpu i would sugest you see what framerates your getting and if they dip to low then consider upgrading the cpu. Download FRAPS

sell CPU and motherboard put that to any money you have saved to buy an 8 core. and get a intel setup
