Hi guys! I'm thinking about upgrading my PC (with new CPU and MOBO).
Current RIG:
CPU: AMD Phenom II x4 945 3.0Ghz (95W rev)
MOBO: GA-MA-770-UD3P
RAM: 2x2 GB DDR3 1333 MHZ CL9 (in next 2 weeks getting 4gb more)
GPU: GTX 660
HDD: ST1000DM003
PSU: Thermaltake Smart SE Modular 530W with 80+ for 230v (European region also newest revision with Haswell support, I know that C6/C7 can be turned off)
I would like to replace my mobo and CPU with something stronger. I'm thinking only about gaming and nothing else, and also I'm not gonna OC the CPU. I don't care about power consumption as long my PSU lasts.
My maximum budget for CPU is price of Intel i5-4460 (and this price in my country is 678,00 Polish zloty = 215,306358 US$)
For now don't bother about the price of MOBO.
So I was thinking about getting one of these;
a) New Intel i5-4460
b) Used Intel i7-2600 (for 650PLN =~200$)
c) Used Intel i7-870 with MOBO (for 650PLN =~200$)
d) New Intel i3-4150 (for 409PLN =~129.882449$)
e) Used Intel i5-3330 (for 456PLN =~149$)
f) Used Intel i5-2500(non K) (for 550PLN =~174$)
I believe any of these CPU's will perform better than my current one, which one should I go for?
@edit
I know it may sound cheap but I'm living in Poland, it's like playing Dark Souls on Extreme Ultra Hardcore level.
