    Very good. Sorry for my English. I'm new and I come from Spain. Currently I no longer dispose or money, or desire to follow in the world of the master race. In my country everything is more expensive and with age I have no desire to keep paying more for the hardware and the upcoming games. I want to ride a processor to forget a couple of years without upgrading, or have too many demands.

    Currently I have an i3 4160 + gtx 660. DECREE also a HD 7790. The HD 7790 with me not like that because it generates processor bottleneck with AMD drivers and stuttering.

    Despite this, with the gtx 660 it is not to help too. So I don´t get smoothness in certain games with the i3. I don´t like.

    Riding my new processor options are:

    Apu a10 7870k. This would pull the igp for undemanding or older games. It would be cheaper and would sell to the dedicated graphics. If I ever want to play to something decent in the future, I can always buy something second hand. I do not know is how it goes in games like battlefield that's what I'm playing now.

    Athlon 860K. You could buy something cheap again and do better in games like battlefield4 where i3 jams and generates stuttering. Would accompany him to one of the dedicated graphics I have.

    Fx-6300. Slightly more expensive than the previous one, but better for games I'm playing in the vault of origin.

    Fx-8320. Higher consumption than the previous one and in my country it's hot. I do not know if it is good option at this point

    i3-6100. Better than I have, but I do not trust suffer the same problems

    Riding a decent motherboard i5 + I will some budget. 1150 could only watch and it seems better to go to the 1151 socket.

    What processor would buy to make me a casual gaming ?

    i5 4570/4670 would be better than those options.

    AMD anything would be a downgrade in games

    If gaming is your thing always go for an i5/i7.

    i5, everything else from that list is just a waste of money from your current cpu.

    I say again about before. I will no longer be hardcore gamer. I'll play the same games. I will not throw new or at most within several years. The chart will use the gtx 660 hd 7790 or as much.

    Buy an i5 currently in my country are almost 200 € for a basic version without the ability to overclock. The problem is that the i3 do not like me because hyperthreading stuttering generates high loads. Thing I didn´t happen in real core processors.

    All the more reason to get a true 4 core processor. i5 or nothing.

    The two generation jump on the i3 won't make much of a difference.

    Even a basic non overclock i5 will help a lot. They're still good cpus if you can't overclock

    Then wait for Zen, hopefully some cpu prices are going to drop.

    With the current system you have all the Amd options would be a downgrade, altough in there own right thay are all ok for Gaming your i3 is more then likely faster then all of them except for the i5.

    Like others have said either wait for Amd Zen to come out or....Go intel i5 skylake or i7 skylake, Possibly a i7 4790k like mine?

    I had plenty of Amd chips espically Apu's they are ok for light gaming but cannot compete with a Intel core and descrete card.

    Edit- Your Gtx 660 is Much faster then the i-gpu in the 7870k! 3 times Faster to be exact. If you had no video-card then Id vote for the 7870k or 7890k. I owned one myself they are pretty damm good. :)

    Thanks for the opinions. From what I see is nonsense change cpu if not to buy something better. Then I only have 2 options:

    Buy a gtx 950 and keep the i3 few months more or buy an i5 4460 and stay with the HD 7790.

    What is the best option?

    Rather keep the gtx 660 for a while, especially if that HD 7790 has only 1GB VRAM.

    My HD 7790 is the model ASUS DirectCU II OC 2gb. Similar to r7 260x. My gtx 660 is the model EVGA FTW. The problem is that the blower model and starts at a high temperature. It also has 2gb false by its asymmetric bus. I've had problems accessing the slow 512mb. Hence I don´t like that model.

    In the end I wasted so easier. I bought a i5 4460. So I will not have many performance problems. So I can always mount another better graphics.

    Thank you all.
