Good evening, dear friends!

The question is clear: actually, I've got an i5 3330 CPU, but I've found an offer of a 3570 (non-K) with a really interesting price, and I'm thinking about the idea of buying this new one and sell my old CPU. I'm not dissapointed with the 3330... Yet I think it's a good oportunity to upgrade my rig and keep with it for 3 years (including my GTX680 and 16GB RAM 1600Mhz). What do you think? I need an advice for someone with more knowledges than me.

I won't make any OC.

Thanks!

Hello friend! And thanks for your quick response.

The price of this upgrade would be, more or less, around 50€. I know the difference isn't for 3 years, but I don't want to buy new hardware until half 2016 (more or less). So, it could be great have this processor only for this amount of money. Will I notice the difference in gaming, or it won't be really significally?

Thanks!

 
I'd rather have the i5-3570 which reaches a turbo boost of 3.8GHz compared to the 3.3GHz from the i5-3330. However, i5s won't hold you back in gaming and I do not think it is worth it unless the difference between buying and selling price is 30€ or less. You are better off spending that money on a better GPU instead. Really!

Hi friends!

Sorry for my last response. OK so, I'll stay keeping my 3330. I had in mind to upgrade my computer in 2015... So, I think it shall be a good idea to keep this money and buy new components in a couple of years.

Thanks all of you!
