My current CPU and mobo are showing their age. I'm looking to upgrade with a budget around $150 but looking for more in the $100 range. I've gone with AMD pretty much my whole PC career but also considering getting a new mobo w/ Intel CPU. Currently, I'm looking at either an AMD FX-6350/6300 and not swap my mobo but I'd switch if it would make sense to.
Let me know what you guys think.
