I5 2500K or Haswell I5 4670K?

computerwonder · Jun 4, 2013

Below is my current rig

I5 2500K (4.4GHZ)
MSI 660 TI (OC)
8GB RAM (1600mhz)
Asus P8Z68-V-LX Mobo
650 ANTEC TRUEPOWER PSU
X2 24INCH 1080p Monitors

Im wondering if there is anypoint upgrading my i5 2500k to a haswell 4670k and is it worth shelling out for a new mobo+cpu and maybe also buying some new Vengance
1866mhz ram

Thanks

not worth to upgrade! your i5 is still a beast for gaming!

Not at all! Your CPU is just as good. Would you want to pay$300+ for a 5-10% increase in some applications? because in most games the difference will be like 5 fps, at most

Not worth it. In most games the CPU hasn't got as much influence as the GPU does. If you are looking for an upgrade that will give you a performance boost in games, upgrade the GPU.

Upgrade your GPU if you got 300$ go toward a GTX 7950 or a GTX 760 the 760 between a 660ti is pretty amazing you get a fps boost of 15-20fps

and you ram is fine man if your rendering video's and working on a youtube channel than upgrade but if your just gaming stick with your ram and your board is just fine man also the i5-2500k is still a beast got mine's yesterday over a i5-3470 because one i can overclock two it still kick's ass as a CPU in this year so just upgrade your GPU mate and your FPS will increase

a 2500k@4.5ghz cannot even bottleneck two titans. that processor is good to go for at least the next few years.
