X5650 Hexa-Core CPU Is it worth it ?

Hello Everyone! 

 

So I came across a Xeon X5650 Hexa-Core Cpu for around $60 Bucks and a LGA 1366 Mobo for $120. 

 

My question is would it be worth it to upgrade from my X4 750K to the Hexa-Core X5650 ? 

 

My Athlon can't run battlefield 4 due to the cpu usage being in the 95 % - 100% and it barley runs TitanFall So I thought maybe the X5650 might be better due to the 6 cores. 

 

Plus it supports Hyper-threading and as 12 Threads compared to 4 on the Athlon.

 

I don't know much about the intel side of cpu's so that's why I decided to ask. 

 

All opinions welcome! 

 

Thanks!

So... you saw a 700$ processor for 60$ ? seems legit

 

 

- Edit.  Apparently Intel is having a sale or something http://www.amazon.com/Intel-X5650-Processor-Socket-LGA1366/dp/B003EM6CJE

It would be an amazing improvement!

 

The Xeon has better IPC, and more cores.

 

$60 tho... I bet ya someone is selling a dud.

The upgade is absolutely worth it,  but the athlon should be fine to run bf4, what gpu are you using? because if you have a gt210 the xeon isn't going to help...

Don't ask to ask, just ask... please 🤨

Ebay! 

Meaning someone could have found it laying around some junked dead PC and figured why not throw it on ebay...

Good side - Dude doesnt know what it is worth, and sells cheap

Bad side - Dude knows what its worth, but its dead,... thinks $60 will get an instant buy.

There is other sellers with the same cpu for $70 , $80 , $90. 

 

So it seems legit to me.

As others have mentioned, yes the Xeon will absolutely, unequivocally, destroy the Athlon. It's 2.66GHz with 6 cores. Should do quite well in basically any game. Especially if you can OC it a bit (Some xeons are easier to OC than others).

 

If it's off eBay, make sure he accepts returns and that the purchase is fully covered by eBay and PayPal.
