Thinking of switching from amd to intel.

I was thinking of switching to a Gigabyte GA-Z87-D3HP board with Intel i5 4460 haswell. Costing me $255 cause the board is on sale. How much performance increase would i see in games and how much performance difference in real life is there between my current setup and this setup. I play games at 1680x1050 as my monitor only supports that high. Thanks guys. I will be upgrading my videocard later on.

 

Any Intel would be a huge upgrade if your overclocking get a K rated cpu

 

Not much into overclocking though i have overclocking friendly ram lol.

 

I went from Fx8350 to i5 4690k and gaming performance was a lot better much better fps I then due to a little luck upgraded again to i7 4790k gaming about the same as i5

 

i say always overclock if youve got headroom with temps and psu wattage and if your psu is decent

 

yeah but my tower is not the greatest for cooling as my side fans are dying lol. I could overclock it as i know i can get good airflow. So i am assuming its a safe bet that intel system would blow my amd system out of the water?

 

oh yeah forgot will that board support crossfire if i ever go that route?

 

yes it supports crossfire

 

Thanks guys. Now to sell off all my spare parts i dont need so i can upgrade.

 

I dumped my 8350 for a I7 6700K very happy bunny.

 

Yeah i am going to ditch my current setup for the intel setup. Got a good deal on board so might aswell give intel another shot.

 

ok got great deal on my paypal so its a go. They should be here next week.

 

It is worth it I did a similar upgrade. Didn't look back

 

So far so good. Fresh install of windows 7 64bit so it will smooth sailing. Will bench when everything updates.

 

so yeah updating takes forever but its seem much much more responsive then before.
