i7 4770k

[onemanarmy720]

I was looking at some i7 4770K's for around $200 and was wondering if that was a good deal, also would it work on the same mother board as my i5 4460, and if would it be a significant improvement.

I can't really comment on price, as 4770K's are scarce in my area. Any mobo using a Z87 or Z97 chipset will work. I'd say so... I've got one running at 4.2GHz... and it's not missed a beat once.

 

PS: Added to say... I'm running games like FC Primal and Fallout 4 without a problem...

Would it work? Yes.

 

But would it be a big boost? Well, it depends on what you do with your PC. Most of the time, though, I wouldn't say it's worth the purchase.

Unless you have a z87, or z97 you will not be able to oc the chip, and it will run hotter then the haswell refresh.

 

But depending on what you are doing matters if gaming then you are going to be better off putting $200 to a new gpu, but if you do things that can use all eight threads, like video editing or cad, or any rendering then you will see an improvement.
