PC Upgrade Pending

[Megageth]

PS the problem with asking for advice is that everyone has an opinion and they hardly ever agree.

PPS I'm on the i5 > i7 bang for buck on a gaming rig train. i7 is the better CPU but does not add that much to games from reviews I have read.

PPPS There are new sockets coming out with support for DDR4 this year, I say OC the CPU you have.

PPPPS I have had a few.

Advice from http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/...ck,3106-4.html

We have seen a small handful of games benefit from Hyper-Threaded Core i7 processors, though. Because we believe this is a trend that will continue as developers optimize their titles, we're including the Core i7-4770K as an honorable mention, now selling for $325. In a vast majority of games, the Core i7 won't demonstrate much advantage over the Core i5. But if you're a serious enthusiast who wants some future-proofing and values highly-threaded application performance, this processor may be worth the extra money.

PPPP...S If Mantle comes in to BF4 then you may find that an AMD cpu thrashes the i7 in BF4. Still to be seen.

What a post, I need a publisher.
