Hey all. So i have been browsing sites lately contemplating getting a mini upgrade. I come to you all to see if it makes sense doing the upgrade or not.
My budget is under $550 CAD. And I am thinking of getting a cpu and mobo to help improve my fps in games.
One individual on another forum has instructed me to pick up a z97x gaming 5 mobo and a i5 4690k, but will it be a substantial boost? Otherwise i may just pick up a bigger lcd and a case to fancy up my current system.
My current setup is as follows:
Fx 8300
gtx 760
8gb g.skill ripjaws
msi evo mobo
650w coolermaster psu
win 7 64b
24" lcd
Will swappig cpu/mobo's yield in a big performance boost or is it not worth it? or am i better off with a stronger gpu? However i only game on 1920x1080 with my current system. I ask this because in games such as marvel heroes for example often drop my fps in intense crowded battles
Looking for any help and input, as i would like to future proof my potential ipgrade as well.
