I am thinking of buying one of these along with the Asus M5A97 R2.0 AM3+ mobo. I have 8 gigs of G-Skill DDR3 for it, and a Coolermaster Hyper 212 Evo handy.
It would replace the dual core setup in my signature. I don't want to spend over $200 total to upgrade the computer. I also plan to install Windows 8.1 on it, and figured this might be a good time to kick it up a few notches.
I don't really see anything from AMD coming with Kaveri in my price range. Also the Intel cpu that I would want is $170, the cheapest quad core from them. Along with a new mobo it is just a bit much for the extra cash I have for this.
Currently the computer is used for some gaming, photo editing, and general use in the living room. I also want USB 3, the UEFI bios, and the ability to charge things while the pc is off etc.
Thoughts?
