Should I upgrade?

[Ahhlong]

I currently have a i5 760 and a gigabyte P55A-UD3P . And it is working perfectly fine . But do you guys think that I should sell my CPU and motherboard and get a Haswell CPU? Thinking of selling cause both of the items still worth about 250$ in Singapore .

Depends on if you need it, like are you planning on doing something other than what you do now?

[MaRimba]

You should wait until 5th gen, then buy 4th gen Haswell imo.

if it work perfectly fine and they do,wait for 5th gen? if you do what MaRimba says,just upgrade now

No. Check your GPU first if you want an upgrade.

But lesser value of Haswell also

 

Gtx760 and some new i5 sounds good right now.

If you get a 4670K when Maxwell comes out than you'll be pretty much set. Also consider Centre Com, they have capped $9 to QLD, if that's where you are than it might be cheaper than at PCCG, Scorptec and Mwave.

but are the new items proportionally marked up?  if so, its not giving you any issues, I'd say just keep it.

 

but if you can get the new items for US like prices, I'd do it.  You can get a 4670k and a mobo for about $300 bucks...

 

Whats the rest of your system look like?  Do you have an SSD?  If not, you'll see a bigger difference in day to day usage with an SSD than a faster cpu... but it won't make any difference in games other than load times...  or you can upgrade the cpu/mobo and get an SSD

You should only upgrade your CPU if it's bottlenecking. If it even bottlenecks and you're happy about your frames then you shouldn't upgrade.

[Joshua Ondangan]

in his case I say go sell it. for 250 bucks why not? later on it will be harder to sell and you will only be able to sell it for less
