Move to Intel ...maybe.

OK so If I were to go for Intel and were to change my CPU and Motherboard , what would I be looking at as in price and products please...I would basically be swapping it for the CPU and Mobo that are in my specs ?

thanx

Any reason for the move?
I'd just overclock your FX8320.

well I might sell what I have to the brother in law..and get myself a nice Intel setup

4670k: £275-325, depending on the motherboard.

4770k: £350-400, depending on the motherboard.

yeah thats the kinda price range i was expecting

what mobo would you recommend for the 4670 Fulax please ?

The low to mid-range Z87 boards are well priced at the moment, so take your pick:

YOUR BASKET
1 x Gigabyte G1.Sniper Z87 Intel Z87 (Socket 1150) DDR3 ATX Motherboard £109.99
1 x MSI Z87-G45 Gaming Series Intel Z87 (Socket 1150) DDR3 ATX Motherboard £106.99
1 x Gigabyte Z87X-SLI Intel Z87 (Socket 1150) DDR3 ATX Motherboard £98.99
Total : £325.57 (includes shipping : £8.00).



I can't complain about my Sniper (the mATX version), but obviously the green colour scheme isn't for everyone.

Once you start getting up to the Maximus Hero and Z87X-OC price range I'd probably just recommend spending the little bit extra on a 4770k and one of the cheaper boards above (unless the more expensive boards have features you specifically want).

How much are you selling the stuff for?
With your GPU, I don't think you'll see massive gains (Even if you get gains).

Sorry for late reply....was on shopping duty

Not sure on price as yet ..even if he changes hes mind and says he doesn't want to spend the money , I'll do the Intel build for myself

I do have an MSI 770 2Gig card ...would that make any gains /difference ?

also again an MSI 660TI 2Gig card


Anyway....went with the MSI G45 and the Intel 4670K
