I figure if I can spend $120 and get a bit more performance outta it why not.
So that's why I was in the tossup between 8350/70 vs 9370 and 9590. The first two are 130 the 9370 is 109 and the 9590 is 140 so not a big deal. I have the big stupid noctua cooler on it, was debating the new thermaltake water 3.0 240mm.
I don't even know if the mobo will run a 9xxx series so it's sounding like the 8370 will be the better option and maybe bump it up a little bit.
I figure if I go to AM4 I would need new/better ram anyways and at that point new mobo new ram new cpu I might aswell just make it a whole new rig. I bought the 1080 cause I was tired of my god awfully loud and hot sli 470s lol.
