The answer you got from Lox in your other thread is the best answer you will get. If it were me, I would have upgraded a first gen Phenom long before now, but if you're not seeing a reason to upgrade, why do it?
was thinking about buying a 3570k or should i wait for Haswell thats why i so confused

if you can still run everything your doing now fine then just wait for haswell, that will be much more future proofed for new games that arent avaliable yet.

If you're waiting for Haswell, just buy an i5-2500k, with a decent to good motherboard. You'll run every game out there, granted you pair it up with a great GPU. Again, if you don't see any problems while running your games now, why upgrade? There will always be a bottleneck. Now, if you came into this thread and you had a dual-core or an FX-4100, I would tell you to upgrade.

I apologize for that mix up. Yeah, he can pretty much go to anything newer and be better off, but the FX-4100 and 4170 are terrible, imho. He's better off upgrading to phenom II X4 or X6, or i5-2500k.

also why do folks keep making fun of phenom fx calling it bulldozer it a codename for a whole set of lineups. sumo (successor to brazos 2.0) is a bulldozer family apu. and llano is a relative of the bulldozer cpu families. its zambezi which i the faliure
