Intel i5 question

zapaq · Aug 4, 2013

I'm looking to upgrade my current cpu to an i5 and was wondering which LGA 1155 i5 should I get if I'm not going to overclock? Also any suggestions on a graphics card would be appreciated. Thanks

Ok thanks

I'm currently using an Intel Pentium GS860 and it does most of what I need it to do but been wanting to upgrade it to something quicker.

Current psu is only 500w so will probably need to be upgraded

"which LGA 1155 i5 should I get if I'm not going to overclock" if I'm reading this right you'll want the 3770K not the 3770 which is locked and doesn't OC (not sure where your at but the K model is $319 at Newegg
