Hi guys,
I have a budget for one of these -
Intel i7 3770K @ 3.90 GHz
ASUS GTX 780 3GB DC2-OC
I currently have -
Intel i5 2310 @ 2.90 GHz
ASUS GTX 650 Ti BOOST 2GB DC2-OC
Info on CPU -
I've been using my CPU from the year 2012, and now it's starting to overheat till 100 C and above at 25% CPU Usage for 10 Minutes and I believe it causes bottlenecking with my GPU so I thought I should replace it by now.
Info on GPU -
My GPU is around 1 Year old and it works good but I have a little problems with it that it sometimes become too slow that I start getting 19 FPS on Assassin's Creed Brotherhood and Need For Speed Hot Pursuit 2010 which is really lame for it. I now use the Gaming Profile and the lag has gone but I still don't ever see any 60FPS until I turn off V-SYNC. With VSYNC I see 30FPS which is not bad but not good as well.
And plus I'm getting the GTX 780 for $640 which is a nice price drop and I want to play Assassin's Creed 4 for 1 Hour per day on at least 45 FPS.
UPDATE: I have a Motherboard which supports PCI-E 3.0, a GPU which does it as well but not a CPU. If I get the i7, I'll get PCI-E 3.0 Enabled.
But once I get any of these two, I won't be able to upgrade them for about a year so I need long time and heavy duty speedups.
So keeping these things in mind, What should I upgrade first? My CPU or GPU?
~Thanks.
