Ok so heres my build http://pcpartpicker.com/p/1lNAy I want to upgrade the cpu, but in order to do that, I would need to upgrade the mobo first. So my question is, what cpu should i get, what motherboard, and in the future what graphics card. I have heard that my power supply will be enough to handle a new cpu/gpu. Also a wierd question here but since i like to play more cpu intensive games, so I might consider intel. If I went with intel here, how hard of a switch would it be (if that makes sense). Lastly here r my games that I play and my budget.
Games: BF3, BF4, ARMA 2, ARMA 3, SKYRIM, CRYSIS 3, DAYZ, COD GHOSTS, and CS GO.
If you're just looking to game and do general computing then go with an i5-4670K (only $19 over $200). It will give you more upgradeability than Ivy or Sandy Bridge because they are "End of Life." You can also take advantage of Z87 which brings a lot of awesome mobos to the table.
For around $100 you could browse ASUS, MSI, Gigabyte, or ASRock models. I don't know about the entry-level models but most of the Z87 mobos are very good. Unfortunatley Z87 clocks in at a high price with mobos this generation, so you may need to shell out some more cash or go with Z77/3570K. I chose the ASRock Pro4 as it's a cheap ATX mobo with digital power and 6 phases. It's basic and the overclocks probably won't be extraordinary, but it does the job.
Battlefield 4 will be amd optimized, battlefield 3 can be easily maxed, the arma series also tends to work better on amd, cs go is very easy game to max and you wont have problems getting hundreds of fps on any new gaming config, crysis 3 tends to work better on intel. With that being sad I would suggest you go for a fx8350 with something like a 7850-7950.
The 7950 and 7970 are really good cards and are a really, really good deal right now. The only reason I'm not getting one for my next rig is A) F*cking blue or brown PCB...dafuq AMD/board partners?! and B) The 9000 series cards are supposed to release soon anyway.
Of course, if you don't care, go ahead and get an HD 7950...great card comes with 3 games of your choice, and it's cheap as AMD slashed pricing on all their cards...so why not?
