Cpu Upgrade

[LuisCorner]

After this post -> Post

 

I got some recommendations about what should i get, moving from a dual core to a quad core.

 

The motherboards im looking now are the following ones:

 

Motherboards

Gigabyte

GA-B85M

 

Asrock

H97M Anniversary

B85 Anniversary

H97M-PRO4
 

and the CPU is this one:
Intel
Core i5 4460 3.2Ghz Quad Core Lga 1150

 

Im about to order the gigabyte mobo and the cpu, is there anything i need to know? is there something wrong about THOSE combos? please let me know if i should buy something better or change something

 

1. Budget & Location

I can afford all 4 combos, and maybe a little more.

 

5. Why are you upgrading?

I need to do multitasking and doing it with a dual core cpu its a pain in the brain i have some tabs open and when i try to do something like opening a game example: hearthstone the pc starts to get frozen for shot periods of time, but when im doing single tasks it works perfect even run bf 3 sp- at 60~170 fps on a gtx 750 ti on ULTRA

 

6. Minor Problem

I saw those motherboards require a 12v 8 pin power connector, but my power supply only has a 4 pin power connector , i read on some forums i can plug in the 4 pin into the 8 pin but you can have random shutdowns because of power delivery, if there is no problem i will leave it like that.

what power supply do you have, because it sounds like you will also need to update your psu, i reccomend the h97m as you get the added support if you decide to go dual gpu in the future,

Go with the H97M-PRO4 (and no you are not banned)

on B85 or H97, it's just a matter of features that it has..number or sata/usb ports, etc and the color scheme you're after..i guess h81 is out of the question for you 

 

i was also using a 4-pin psu for my z97m board (has 8pin), but it only has an i3 so the cpu isn't really power hungry..(yeah i still have to get an unlocked cpu)

i was advised to upgrade the psu if I were to upgrade my cpu..up to now i only upgraded the psu

 

don't take my word for it, but I guess that advise will do you good as well..
