CPU Switch Query

[gster84]

Evening all, 

 

My main rig is a 4690K, have it just how I want it in terms of looks but was thinking about swapping the processor for a 4770K. Is it worth it?

 

Don't really want a new build i.e. changing motherboard etc etc so looking at what performance I could expect out of that.

well what do you use the computer for, are you unsatisfied with the current performance? it depends on what apps you're running.

Might as well get a 4790k if you can find one cheap enough.

Its a upgrade depends if you feel like pc is being slow.

I mainly game on it but if I'm working from home there is a fair bit of multi tasking (about 20 tabs on browser, text editor, excel sheets, filezilla and spotify etc), photoshopping, video editing done. 

 

Performance is OK but wondering if I would get a) a bump in gaming performance and b) overall speed

it would be noticeable, but minor enough that if you do you should upgrade to a new platform instead

if i were you, i would try to sell the 4690k and then buy a 4790k, since buying a new motherboard and new ram would cost more
