I know there is much better processors out there but right now im on a A8-3850 and I was wondering if its worth the upgrade to the K series, especially if I overclocked it, if its not worth the upgrade, time to save up now for a car ;D

Current rig:
A8-3850
8GB Ram @ 1333mhz
HD6870
120GB SSD
1TB HDD
450W PSU

I'd go with the car. The 3850 and 3870K will perform nearly identically at stock and to overclock, you'd need a capable motherboard and a good CPU cooler. It's a lot of money for a little performance and I'd suggest a new board and CPU if you plan to upgrade. There's no sense in having an APU if you're not using the integrated graphics.
