Processor/Motherboard help
Hopefully Kong will chime in, but my kid wants to upgrade his rig. Right now he's got GeForce 1070 8gb Gfx, 16 gb RAM, and an AMD FX-4300 Quad Core 3.8gHz. He's having issues with one game (Stellaris) but wants to upgrade. Motherboard is cheap - MSI 760GMA-P34(FX). He's insisting on AMD upgrade, but damn, he's at 3.8 right now, although it's 4 cores.
I'm processor ignorant. Would a newer generation AMD (has to be AM4 socket) with 8 cores but lower speed (say 3.5) be better than existing quad core 3.8? What's more important, speed or cores/threads, or cache? Any help GREATLY appreciated.
