New Processor Upgrade Help

humanized · Apr 27, 2015

Hi. I was looking to get a nice CPU to replace my old one but, nothing too extravagant.

Here is my build: http://pcpartpicker.com/user/humanized/saved/K7xV3C

I am looking to further enhance my gaming experience with an i7 processor and I am prepared to spend around $100-$250 for one. (Don't hesitate to send me something over that) Something that could help me run something like "Mortal Kombat X" a bit better. Please excuse if I seem a bit noob-ish.
Also feel free to give me multiple suggestions. Thank you in advance. :bounce:

I wold replace the MoBo that support Intel processors for better gaming and quality.

MoBo (both these Mobo's support the intel cpu's listed below.
ASRock Z97 Extreme4
MSI Z97 Gaming 5

CPU:
i5-4460
i7 4790k
Or FX8350 if you dont want to change Mobo, this CPU gets hot tho, so you want to change CPU cooler aswell.

The money that you save I would hold onto and then put it towards a gpu upgrade later, I would also definitly think of getting another 4gb's of ram to go with it.

dont replace cpus are good for long time . i dont think they ditirate

Yeah a cpu will last a lot longer then a gpu for a gaming build. It just scales better as games generally use much more gpu then cpu.

Yonose :

If I go with the FX8350 CPU upgrade, should I go with an aftermarket cooler or stick with the stock. If so please give me suggestions.

Gracodana · Apr 27, 2015

If you arent going to overclock you could stick with the stock but really they are so loud and still get very hot I would suggest getting one anyway.

Gracodana :
