I would try OCing that CPU a little and perhaps thinking of a GPU upgrade.

The GTX 750 Ti in the GR8 is a bit faster and the whole system will be a fraction of the size and power of your current one.

You could get an FX CPU and throw in a better GPU, or get the GR8.

If you have an AM3+ mobo, you can get the FX.

You would save a lot of money that way. And you could get a monster of a GPU.

Because it's C4E - 890FX - the FX support is quite limited to specific models. The product page contains the FX numbers. An 8-core chip will certainly be a boost but it's limited to early Bulldozer series. There's also Phenom II X6 chips to consider, if you can still find one!

Change the mobo to new rog, put a fx, put more ram and buy a monster gpu will be more expensive that buying a GR8

Well my mobo only supp fx in beta and from what i have read i can have some problems after put a fx
I tried finding a phenom II x6 and cant find one.
The problem is that i dont have a lot of money to buy a monster GPU . I can buy the gr8 and pay every month a little bit
