I am considering in upgrading my cpu from an i5 2500 non k model to an i5 4690K or even to the i7 4790K. i know the 2500 still has power when it comes to gaming and other things such as mild 3d modelling, rendering and programming but it starts to show a bit in a game for example bf4 were overclocking the 2500K yields a higher average framerate due to it having the ability to oc but the average i get on my standard 2500 is 80 which isnt to bad.
first built mid 2012 and the only component i have upgraded since then was the gpu which i upgraded from a 550ti to the gtx 760.
My current build.
CPU: i5 2500
CPU cooler: intel stock cpu cooler
Motherboard: evga z68 sli micro
GPU: gtx760 gigabyte windforce 2gb
PSU: thermaltake 600 watt
RAM: 3 DDR3 4gb sticks (no idea what brand)
Hard Drive: 500gb WD
Case: Aopen nagas g5
the current price for the i5 4690K is $309 Australian and the i7 4790K is $439 Australian
Would it be worth while at this point in time to upgrade my cpu or wait possibly 2 years and upgrade the cpu which in that time ill be using my computer more for 3d modelling, rendering and and less for gaming.
