Which CPU to upgrade to

[Agazed]

So currently I have an Intel i5 2320 @3.0 GHZ and an Asrock B75M.

 

I have money to upgrade to an i7 3770k, i7 4690k with a new mobo, and a i7 5820k with a new mobo, DDR4 and CPU cooler.

 

Which option would be the most cost efficient with my current specs (in my signature)

What do you use your PC for? That would help to know.

Are you planning to utilize the 28 PCIE lanes and the extra 2 cores? If your just gaming get the 4690k or a 4790k and new mobo.

Mainly gaming with some rendering.

 

Games include: GTA V, CS:GO, Minecraft, and many other indie games

I would go with this and re-use your current RAM sticks:

Gonna go with the 4790k and the AsRock Z97

 

It's great for me because there is a store that I can pick up the stuff at 2 towns over.

indeed those are awesome deals...i would go 4790K and Asrock Z97 PRO4...but pick the Extreme 4 if you plan on using dual graphics cards down the road.

W00T. Just purchased and installed the new cpu and mobo. Defiantly feels a ton snappier! The only problem is that I have to use the stock cooler until the Hyper 212 EVO finishes shipping.
