I currenty have an AMD Phenom II X6 1100t and cant decide whether or not to upgrade to an FX 8350, or wait for steamroller to come out. Is the increased performance worth the $180 for the upgrade?
No, x6's are fine still. It would be a performance jump, but considering you probably aren't doing much but games and some light rendering, It'd be better to wait for a generation and with any luck we'll have DDR4 by that point with dat 2133 base speed.
