yes but then i have to upgrade my mobo to. and i can't spend 200€ or more at the moment

Hey, I got a question. My pc is in need of a small cpu upgrade because in most modern games (like BF1 64 player map) its at 100% and laggy while the gpu is at 60%. But at the moment i'm on a tight budget. It has an (unoverclockable) Dell MB socket 1155 ; i5 2400 (watercooled corsair H60); 300w psu; 500Gb ssd + 1Tb hdd; 16GB ddr3 ram and a nvidia 1050ti 4Gb. But.... i found an i7 3770 (not K) for 100 bucks so my question is, is it worth it in this day and age to still buy an i7 3770 or should i just wait and throw out the whole crap and start new (but i'd have to wait 3 years or so) any other tips/suggestions are welcome I don't mind playing on the not highest setting if it can't keep up but i do appreciate nice graphics (so i like to stay at 1080p with decent graphics) i might have to mention, the watercooling seems overkill but it isn't really, with stock air i got an average temp of 85°C fan maxed... and i got a great deal on h60 so now it averages 30°C with the fan on minimum and barely any noise. Also to my understanding the 3770 is the best cpu for this Mobo.
