Is this upgrade good?

[TheGuyWhoDied]

I want to upgrade my PC. I don't have a lot of money, I currently have an i3-2100. I would like to get an E5 1650, is that worth it? I'll be using it with my GTX 1050ti with 8gb of DDR3 ram.

I found some of them used on AliExpress.

 

 

Edit:- I found a motherboard for it, don't worry about the motherboard.

you cant upgrade to a e5 1650

except if you ditch your
FCLGA1155 motherboard
to an
FCLGA2011

I found a motherboard. I forgot to mention....

im on a e5 1620 v3
but its a xeon
and so far i've had 0 stability issues
great cpu for the price, waiting for the e5 1680 v3 to drop price

[NrKj105]

but wouldnt an i7 be better for your needs? + they are ocable

[TheGuyWhoDied]

I guess, this has better performance than an i7-2600k. I can't afford the E5 1680 V3

[NrKj105]

true
but the 2600k is overclockable though

To be honest, I do not see much if any point to the i3 (nothing against you, they are just glorified and expensive Pentiums in my eyes). With a second gen processor, I'd be willing to bet you are starting to see it's age. Unfortunately, I would usually recommend going with a new system, but with your budget, I would probably go with what you've found. Check out Tech Yes City, he does a lot of budget and used stuff.
