Yo im upgrading from a r9 270x to the new 480 and was going to upgrade my cpu as well. Currently got an fx 6300, my question being can you recommend some good cpus and mobos. budget of around 200-250 give or take, cheers.
 
I currently have an extreme 970 3 board and doesn't play nicely with oc'ing on my setup so oc'ing isn't an option. I am going to wait and see how the 480 and 6300 run, hopefully there is little need to upgrade. However I do play games such as dayz sa and the bf titles(will be playing bf1). Where cpu performance would be important. Ofc an amd cpu upgrade isn't worth especially if I can't oc. So generally people are saying to go for the 4690k or wait for zen is the 4690k worth the money to upgrade from what I currently Have or is there not too much difference to justify it? Also when is the zen expected to release
And what's it's price range? Cheers for the replies n I know my reply is late I kinda stopped checking since at the time I wasn't getting many replies
 
Cheers for the reply man quick secondary question could I oc the 4690k with a 500w corsair cx psu h100 cooler and cooler master haf x case seems doubtful but a question none the less pretty sure the 480 and i5 have lower power requirements than my current build
