Hello dearest friends. I am super bored and when I am bored I spend money (mostly in a senseless fashion).
When BF3 came out in late 2011, I upgrade my CPU/GPU to the Phenom x4 955/Nvidia 570gtx. Overclocked the sucker to 4ghz, and haven't even paid any attention to the CPU charts since (never felt the need since this sucker flew at the time). All of my games are still running fine, so if that answers any questions there.
I will likely keep play BF3 and other FPS until BF4 comes out, then start to get the urge to upgrade. I might want to do that ahead of time, but I need someone to convince me that it is dumb.
Can anyone see any reason why I would upgrade at this time? I feel like grabbing an i5 and overclocking will increase my e-penis size, but realistically in games I feel like 16ghz of processing power is probably going to hold me over another year.
I know my GFX card will get an upgrade come Oct, but will my CPU be any significant bottleneck at that point?
I know this question is terrible, but like I said I am bored.
