Hi, i just want to know the perf. difference between my current Intel Core i5-4460, and a Core i7-5820K, and is it worth the Motherboard swap, RAM and in my situation, a new PSU.

 

EDIT: the reason im asking this question, is bcuz im getting a fair bit of stuttering in GTA V, and i thought the Core i5 might be a bottleneck in the system

I use my PC mainly for games like GTA V (1440P), CSGO (4K), and i might pick up BO3. I don't use my PC for any content creation at all.

Stick with your Cpu then, there is absolutely no point in getting a 5820K just for games.

Damn. You won't need the 5820K, get a better PSU, (optional) a better case and an SSD.

Power supply is lacking among other things. I'd look at other hardware stuff, it's most likely not your CPU

I doubt your CPU is the problem.
