upgrade advice

[farmerboy-86]

hey guys i have been saving like crazy for new cpu and mobo £500 budget

so those who dont know me or seen my threads i have always been amd

i had a 8350 fx chip @ 4.9ghz went pop so i had cheap deal on 7870k overclocked to 4.8ghhz with a r9 390 clocked to 1200 core 1700 memory and @ 1080p it runs most games ultra around 50 ish fps but games like witchher 3 ect not a hope while the 7870k blew me away with performance cracking chip, but was always a stop gap untill i could afford new cpu mobo!

i intend to dual monitor and crossfire so

another fx 8350 (which is showing age) or i7 4790k or skylake

im not sold on skylake as i dont see from what i have read that ddr4 is worth the extra cash

x99 is looking good as at time of writing overclockers has good deals on 5820k

advice would be great as intel isn't my thing but it looks thhe way to go

(that took some writing lol)

I would say go for the x99 with your budget the 5820k would be a good bet ! Never used amd myself so can't comment on that.
