Hello!

I currently own this Rig.

1. Intel i3 2100
2. Gigabyte GTX 660 OC GPU
3. Corsair VS550 PSU
4. Intel DH61HO mobo

I am going to upgrade to a Intel i5 4670 and Gigabyte GA-H81M-DS2 motherboard. But now in the perspective of Directx12,as the API will benefit systems with a weak processor as compared to the GPU, i am thinking of getting a Intel i3 4150, which will allow me to save cash for buying a really capable GPU in a few months time. I would really like some guidance in this regard. Thanks in anticipation !

Thankyou. That is exactly what i wanted to go for, but the current mobo can support only the processors with max power usage of 65watt, which is pretty much every processor better than i3 2100 from 2nd gen.
