Hey there, I recently upgraded my FX 6300 to an overclocked state and paired it with an R9 380 and 4GB RAM. I'm trying to decide what to upgrade next since my current setup is starting to feel outdated. What should I consider? Should I wait for a Zen update, opt for a newer Intel processor like the i5 6500, or go with an older Xeon from 2010 such as the 2650 and overclock it? Or maybe just hold off? I'm not sure and would really appreciate some clear advice along with a breakdown of the options. My budget for CPU and motherboard is around $400.

your system can't do this right now, it's not ideal until kaby lake and zen are available.

I want to play video games, I don't want to do editing or anything else. Just want to enjoy games at 60 fps, but I can't do this right now... Games like h1z1 king of the kill, rust, battlefield 1 and others run at 30 fps and it's not fun anymore. I'm getting tired of it ahah
