Is it worth going for a Radeon 7790 at this point (for £85)?

Definately go with FX-8320 if u want good value for money, also 8 cores. I'm also plan on using it on my next build, they overclock quite well. It's plenty enough for gaming and could be even more so as games start utilizing more cores.

Well. 8 Cores means squat when a Quad Core Intel Core i5 4670K is faster than AMD's 8-core FX 8320, even when all 8 cores are being used. It all comes down to whether that extra $80 (In Australia at-least) is worth it for you to choose Intel over AMD.

I don't see why you should buy a 7790. Instead I'd just wait when the 20nm process is ready for a noticeable boost in performance.

If you actually read any of the OPs posts you would know he has already bought his new GPU.

I'm banking on multi-core gaming to become much more prominent once the weak 8 core console CPUs get utilized. It's apparently easy to transfer the power gained there to PCs. Theres not a single game that benefits from the 4 extra cores of 8320 today though. But it's plenty enough good for currentgames still.
