i5 4460 to replace my FX-6300 worth it?

 I was originally going to buy a GTX 970 but hey. I saw a deal of the i5 4460 w/ Gigabyte Sniper B5 for $230 ( Used but the seller is reliable)

Is it worth it(How much performance increase will I get)? In my future upgrade path if I took this Is it ok to get an i7 before I completely shift to a newer architecture?

 

I currently have a razer themed rig and the Sniper B5 would complement my theme,

Here's a photo of my rig

Most non-AAA titles do love the extra single core performance, and Knowing full well my own experience with my FX 6300>i5 4690 I can saw it's WELL WORTH IT!

 

Not saying the FX doesn't provide playable framerates, but it's not perfect by any means, but the i5 can do it more efficiently and faster with less dips in the games that create them more often.

Maximums - Asus Z97-K /w i5 4690 Bclk @106.9Mhz * x39 = 4.17Ghz, 8GB of 2600Mhz DDR3,.. Gigabyte GTX970 G1-Gaming @ 1550Mhz

dude that is a horrible deal. I got a 4790k and a gigabyte z97 SOC for $320 and the 4790k was still in box

Thats that. If you need to get in touch chances are you can find someone that knows me that can get in touch.

first you might want some ram.

 

Fx 6300 gets a lot of crap, but its decent. wait until it throttles before you upgrade. and why do you have a cooler worth more then the cpu that its cooling?!?! anyway, you can probably overclock it balls to the walls so

^ This, that is not worth it. He is selling it for a bit high...

Also, if you do replace that FX 6300, I'd like one and a motherboard. :P

The Price of an i5 4460 in the PH is $188 + the price of the mobo which is $98

So its $56 of

1.) I have a ram, a single stick 8GB Gskill RED which I removed because it doesnt match my theme (but I still use it) and Im planning to get a HyperX Black or  Dom Plats

2.)My cooler is a deepcool maelstrom 240, I got it for $74 :D ( my cpu costs  $119 here in the Ph)

 

Talk the seller down to $170.

I'll see.

even if you got the GTX 970 that cpu will bottleneck it. You will get better FPS, with the i5.

NEVER GIVE UP. NEVER STOP LEARNING. DONT LET THE PAST HURT YOU. YOU CAN DOOOOO IT

What board are you using?
