I'm planning on heading to Microcenter later today and I need advice as to which path I should take. I currently have the a FX 8350 (had it for about 2 years now) and a Gigabyte 990FX Ud3 (rev 1) board and a GTX 680. I'm pretty sure my board is giving me issues so I want to change some hardware. This issue is, I don't know if I should just change out the board and update the card with the possibility of changing to AMD's new stuff at the end of the year OR If I should just make the switch now to Intel. FYI, I'm not trying to spend more than $1200.
 
Thoughts anyone?

    Disregard my post. I put it in the wrong section.
