But, the tone of this post is quite obviously MEANT to be personal. If you don't want something to be taken personally, don't literally and intentionally call someone an idiot.
Also, you need to either overclock HARD or go up to FX-9000 if you plan to stay with AMD and get a significant upgrade without losing out on money. Even then, FX-9000 CPUs are expensive as all hell, require miraculous cooling, and the motherboards that take them are all extremely expensive. You'd spend much less money buying a 4770K, or, as so many people recommend, a 4670K, and get more enjoyable performance, because you need to raise the voltages REALLY high on the 9000 chips to get constant performance, even underclocked.
So, your viable choices are to overclock, or to go Intel.
