Davee Posted July 26, 2017 Posted July 26, 2017 (edited) Hi Guys, I've been running an I5 4670 OC to 4.2 Mh for a couple of years now. I'm just wondering if it is worth upgrading to an I7 and if so what would be a good choice that I can OC. Any guidance much appreciated. Cats . . . ps. Also thinking that I might get more benefit from updating my Vid Card from a 970 to ? instead. After my posting I see that my MB is running LGA 1150 and that is pretty old by today's standards which means a new MB and CPU to gain ? at this time. I'm retired and have to get the most bang for the buck and be ready for the FA-18C. :) Edited July 26, 2017 by Catseye

Davee Posted July 27, 2017 Author Posted July 27, 2017 Thanks guys. I think I'll hold on the CPU and MB and upgrade the video card. That should increase performance and I can transfer the card to the new gear later. Cats . . . .
