Upgrading Decisions

Go to solution Solved by TheTiger,

Ok, if u got one of those CPU's would there be a big difference in fps?

You don't need a new CPU if you're only doing gaming.

 

This!

You already have a  i5 4670, an Upgrade would bring you nearly no FPS gain, just a waste of money, spend it on a second graphics card, an SSD or whatever, just don't buy a new CPU.

Hey everyone, thinking of getting the GTX 780 ti SC with acx cooler and wondering if i should get a new cpu aswell. I Got a EVGA GTX760 at the moment and an i5 4670 3.4 GHz. And if I were to get a cpu aswell, what should i get? ($500 aus max cost.) 

I7 4790K ?

You're welcome mate!
Also wait a bit and keep looking if maybe the price of the GTX 700 Series will drop when the new 900 Series Cards come out ;)

 

 

There is a thread about it on the forum :)

 

Have you read it? It's speculation atm :/ (but I'm sure the 960 will also be released soon ;) )
