Good evening fine people of Tom's Hardware community!
I have been mulling over upgrading my i5-760 CPU for a while now but it's only started to become an issue recently and note about the Intel Xeon E3-1231v3 from the May CPU article has muddied the waters a bit for me.
Ever since Dragon Age Inquisition came out I've started doubting my CPU's capability with some of the more recent stuff.
It gets maxed out when play DA:I and also in GTA V and start losing a lot of frames when I watch Twitch TV and Youtube on my other monitor too.
I'm thinking that the new stuff is just a bit too much for my old 760 and I need something else.
I had the Intel Core i5-4690K in mind before but now I'm not too certain.
I would be grateful for any recommendations.
