Upgrading CPU

Go to solution Solved by Nocte,

I would save the money and get a bigger performance jump (e.g. Ryzen 12nm or 7nm or Intel Coffee/Cannon Lake). 

 

Go ahead with the SSD...

Here's my build. I wanna upgrade the CPU and get an SSD and was wondering if an i5-7500 would be a good upgrade for now, so that when i upgrade the gpu down the road the cpu wont cause a super bottleneck. I do not have any plans of overclocking ever, and don't want to upgrade or change any other parts for the time being.

Ya depends on how much you'd want to spend. a 7500 is a good value buy, you'll get way more life out of that, deffo not a bottleneck unless you decide to throw a 1080ti in there lol
But at the same time, going to something like the 8400 or 8500 would be wayyy better. 

 

Deffo get an SSD regardless
