Go to solution Solved by Manny Calavera,

if you want to upgrade, wait for haswell refresh, pile up more money and get overclockable i7

it will be better overclocker than haswell

Hey, i'm new here so i hope i'm doing this right...

So i've got this i5 750 i've been using quite a while now, i've bought a new gpu already (gtx 760) and i thought i should upgrade the cpu and get myself a 4670k

But i'm not sure if it's really worth it because i'd have to buy another motherboard and i don't know if i could get a lot more performance just by overclocking it

Or maybe i should buy an AMD cpu... I don't know =/

Someone help me? Thanks ;)

NO. That would be a waste of money. You might as well buy 32GB of RAM.

 

But seriously, just overclock it.

Bit off topic but what is the deal with Broadwell and Devils Canyon. Which is hot and when? I have had 3570 for a while that I sold for an upgrade for Z97 in next month or so. Was I too quick to sell? Got good deal so money wise no issues.

you guys have no idea what you are talking about...the i5-750 is much slower than a modern core i5 CPU...it's overall a good 50% slower in fact...it would be a major step-up upgrade,

the 4670K as a 67% better performance PER CORE over the 750...here:

You guys see intel and you go wow ok this has a good IPC and is plenty fast enough...the truth is intel made a MAJOR step-up when they came up with sandy bridge CPU...

everything they did before that was MUCH slower and really not that great you know...
