How about, buy nothing ;p?
If you're strapped for cash, buying something that will offer you little is a fallacy.
Actually you are missing the obvious. Selling the 2500K and mb\cooler\mem will pretty much pay for the Amd system. I have 8Gb of new memory which I bought 2yrs ago for peanuts, its decent stuff too. Therefore I have a new cpu\mb\mem with warranty, for nothing. Make sense now mate.![]()
Metro's fine in DX9 mode, but in DX11 it's just a stuttery mess on an 2500K, even at lowered settings. The problem's not there for i7s or 83xx CPUs.

Like I say, this was before Thuban launched, so probably needs more testing, as like I say, the best AMD offered there was a Phenom II, and I know people were playing it DX11 with Phenom II's.
It's widely reported and I got the same results switching my i5 and i7 CPUs on both Win 7 and Win 8. It may be that the game just isn't optimised enough for DX11 on 4 cores.
That has to be bottlenecking, because it's barely faster than my R9 290 at 1000MHZ core.
And a 7990 "rapes" an R9 290 frankly.
If I ran my R9 290 at 1.2GHZ, I wonder if it'd be out pacing the FX830 then.
But 2 threaded games aren't the minority.
Current games by default don't use 8 threads.
