will it make a difference

[hypergod]

Hi I currently have a MSi H81M-p33 with an intel G3258. I will be upgrading to an I5 4690k will upgrading the mother board to a Z97 make a difference in performance at all or would it be a waste of money.

A z97 board will allow you to oc. Other than that, the motherboard doesn't really affect performance.

gta 5 is pretty nicely threaded, you can buy xeon 1230v3 or 1231v3

what cpu cooler you have?

You can get tray since you have cpu cooler.

 

 

Idk how overclocking i5 on that mobo would be, i would not push it...

Pentiums are dual core I believe so you will definitely at see a difference getting a quad core i5 you can't even play far cry 4 on dual core

i would keep your current board and order a xeon E3-1231V3 as a new CPU instead.
