Posted April 15, 2017 Depends on what gpu, but for the most part it seems ok. Make sure to quote me or tag me when responding to me, or I might not know you replied!

Or this: @DocSwag Buy whatever product is best for you, not what product is "best" for the market. Interested in computer architecture? Still in middle or high school? P.M. me! I love computer hardware and feel free to ask me anything about that (or phones). I especially like SSDs. But please do not ask me anything about Networking, programming, command line stuff, or any relatively hard software stuff. I know next to nothing about that.

Posted April 15, 2017 it all depends on game and settings some games are cpu heavy and some gpu heavy. for a cpu heavy game it probably will not be the best. the lower core count is really what will hold it back making all cores pinned in some games and what not will hurt. but it will work fine for most games i beleive. but if you are going get a new cpu i would get a i5 or a r5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted April 15, 2017 Keep in mind, if you upgrade CPU you will also (most likely) have to upgrade MoBo & RAM if you upgrade past the 4790K Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted April 15, 2017 If your CPU is hitting a 100% and getting frame dips in the games that you play than you might want to upgrade your CPU. They aren't bad on ebay. 4670, 4670k, 4690, 4690k, 4770, 4770k, 4790, 4790k, probaby whichever is cheapest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

K, maybe an exaggeration but that is a top of the line gaming cpu, up there with the 6900k, 7700k etc. Not quite, but it could be argued it's anywhere from the 3rd to 6th best gaming chip you can buy.
