GPU or a CPU

IAMEXTREME · Oct 19, 2013

Here we go,
i have spare i5-2500.

I already have a GTX 660 Ti and a z77 in the drawer.

Now, should i be going with another GTX 660 Ti in SLI or replace the i5-2500 by a i7-3770k (with a decent cooler) and O.C it.

I'm planning to get a 400R case.
All your suggestions/cross questions are appreciated.

Hi,

I think the sli will be more beneficial and will be more noticeable in performance.

for games I assume? I guess you're better of getting another 660 but what resolution are you playing on?

1080p

I'm thinking quite the same though

If at all you want to swap the cpu, go for a 4th gen haswell cpu rather than 3rd gen. This will have a better performance increase. But I still think the sli with another 660 will be the better option

hope this helps!

For that i have to buy a z87 motherboard. And i'm not planning to stack up a pile of motherboards in my house as i already have a z77 lying somewhere in the drawer. I hope it's alive though. Well thanks man, cheers
