My current gaming htpc is an e8400 and it's getting long in the tooth and struggling with some games. Main use is play all my pc games, watch streaming and video files. Gaming will be 1080p since I won't be upgrading to 4k TV anytime soon. I want the upgrade to last me a couple of years or more.
For my usage scenario, should I upgrade to a latest i5, or should I just get an A8-6600k (on sale at fry's for $100) and use the saving towards a better video card or SSD?
