I'm thinking of replacing my AMD build with Intel, and trying to figure out what cpu to get.
I’m looking at the i5-4460 3.2ghz, and from what I can tell this would be slightly better in comparison to the fx6300 which is what I have now. But how would it compare against a higher end cpu such as the i7-4790? They're both quad core and the speed difference isn’t all that much but I’m planning on using this to play games like Fallout 4 so how much would it matter? Is it worth it to spend the extra $ on something better? Here are the Fallout 4 specs for comparison http://www.gamespot.com/articles/fallout-4-pc-minimum-and-recommended-pc-specs-conf/1100-6431267/
I’m also concerned whether my build would be “upgradeable” enough, I already made a similar mistake in my first build where my current motherboard doesn’t support the cpu I wanted to upgrade to. Maybe instead a DDR4 build would be better for future upgrades using something like the i5-6500 3.2GHz ? Only problem is I'd have to get new RAM.
