Hey everyone, one of my friends really wants to upgrade his pc soon but I am a bit unsure of how to advise him. Currently he is running an 8150@ stock, some 50 dollar mobo (I think gigabyte) and a 680 FTW. All I know is his mobo was purchased as a combo deal at microcenter when the 8150 came out.
Anyway So far I felt the best approach would be to wait for the next AMD processor release and possibly grab a 290X and a cooler to OC his current 8150 decently. I'm not entirely sure how much performance he would even gain just switching out the gpus and leaving his processor stock. Any suggestions on this matter?
