I7 4960X Thinking of Upgrade

Recommended Posts

Hi all, I have my 6 core 4960 overclocked at 4.6(hyperthreading off),but was wondering if anyone could tell me if it's worth upgrading, and to what chip. I would like more cores,but don't want to spend more than the $1200 I paid for my present CPU.

Thanks in Advance!
