Hi all!
For the past 5 years, I've been running a decent rig. It runs around a 3570K. My motherboard broke about 6 months ago and I paid over the odds for a low end, hard to find, 1155 motherboard. It has 16GB of memory and a recently bought GTX 1060 (4GB). Well now my CPU has died! I have about £250 to spend.
My question is, should I get a second hand 1155 CPU for about £150? If I upgrade to a later CPU, I'll need a new board and new DDR4 memory. Can I get anything decent for around £250 that will perform close to my old 3570K?
I like to play games, Skryim mostly. It doesn't have to be at the the best quality, just decent. What do you recommend?
