Really depends on the games

 

Also consider an i7-2600 cause it could be a bit cheaper on eBay

Personally I'd say yes, However don't discount the Xeon 1280V2 as you'll be using a GPU. It has a higher single core turbo of 4.0GHz and is more power efficient.

Depends on higher end GPU's, settings used, expectations before you purchase...
8threads truly does clear up a lot of 4core4thread 80-100% issues as the 8threads sit around 60-85% in the same situations, but the GPU can breath better.
8threads still has it's limits on Newer games,.. esp with FASTER GPU's.

Fair enough, They can be a little difficult to find. From a quick eBay seach (I'm in the UK) I could only find a couple of listings compared to many i7 listings.

i am in india so sometimes it costs more for the shipping alone if the product is around half the globe

Completely understandable. In that case I'd definitely look for something a bit more local  If you can find an i7 3770 that would perform very well in your system.

I think a CPU would definitely unlock a bit more performance from your GPU, but next would definitely be a GPU upgrade

Modern AAA titles would definitely benefit from 4 more threads. So an old i7 or Xeon is a good choice.

What motherboard do you have? Do you enjoy overclocking? Do you have a beefy cooler?

[AGENT_PRIME_YT]

cooler is not problem but would have to change my motherboard

Personally I'd recommend going for a 3770K and overclocking it. You'll get more performance from it that way. But be careful when buying overclockable parts used, the past user/users could have done some seriously ridiculous overclocks which would shorten the lifespan of them.
