i5 2400/2500 vs i3 3240

[EQuiPeX]

Hey a quick question.. do you think it's worth upgrading i3 3240 to i5 2500 for 30$ ? i mean i paid 75$ for a used i3 but as i checked google, i5 2500 is not a whole lot faster but there are more cores.. and i can get the i5 2400 for 20$.. and please tell me how to  check which cpu is better.. since i am using CPUboss and someone said that that info is garbage... here are the links i got..

For 30$ bucks (assuming you ONLY have to use 30$ bucks) yes It Is worth It.

Yes it's very much worth it.

Also never use CPUboss ever again, or GPUboss for that matter as well, they are absolute garbage "Benchmarks" if you can even call them that.

also i just see an ad for i7 4790 for 40$... wtf is happening here?

Use UserBenchmark. Anything ending in "Boss" should not be used for benchmarks.

1150*

 

Can you find a 2600K for around that price? It'd be worth it if you could. But 40 USD for the i5 is also a really amazing deal.

[EQuiPeX]

well actually 30€ 20€ and 40€.. but the price still isnt much different..

Used CPU' s are fine to buy. Usually very little wear.
