Should i upgrade?...

[XcyiouS]

Hi! I'm currently using a i7-3770 cpu and i was wondering if upgrading to a i7-3770k(will try to overclock) worth it ? Like a additional SGD$50 to upgrade .

Also, i'm considering to get a EVGA Z68 FTW too , with or without the 3770k .

Erhm well, if it was maybe 20$ yeah, but unless your suffering from performance issues... no.

Im on a low budget tho so im either keeping my 3770 or change to a 3770 ,

I think you won't see a whole lot of performance gain going from 3770 to 6700(K) or i7 7xxx. At least not in games, but maybe in high res photoshop/video editing.

Eh that's like 35ish bucks US so it may be worth it, I assume you mean you would sell the other chip hence only having a net cost of $50SGD

 

However do you even have a OC capable motherboard

I say no. Save your money for a more sizable upgrade. 

 

UNLESS you need more cpu horsepower

Yeah i'll be selling away the 3770 hence the net cost of $50SGD , Currently i don't think my motherboard is an OC capable one (P8H77-M LE) but I'm getting a EVGA Z68 FTW soon i guess

Well I'd hold off unless the EVGA z68 is something your getting essentially for free, since if you add more costs to the mix the swap becomes less practical than it already was.

Ah i see , alright thanks everyone for the help! Btw is there a better upgrade choice of mobo and cpu that doesn't cost a bomb ? Maybe i could upgrade that in afew months time

Well tbh there aren't that many cpus that are better in the mainstream market than the one you have, there are the haswell and skylake i7s but they are both expensive and not really worth switching out other parts for, at least the 3770 is still by all accounts a good cpu.

Ohh, but can be other chipset / gen tho cos i'll be changing the motherboard and chip next time . While I'll stick to my current one for now
