Should I upgrade from QX9650 to i7-4770k?

winkopro · Dec 28, 2015

Current Setup,
Asus P5B Deluxe
Intel QX9650
GTX 1GB GeForce 460
8GB RAM
SSD 256GB

Have my eyes on the following system:
i7-4770k
Z87 D3 Board
16GB RAM
SSD 256GB
GTX 2GB 770

I mainly play bf4, will I notice any improvement? Higher FPS?

Absolutely, but an i5 is plenty for that GPU.

What do you think of the i7-4770k + Z87X-D3H?

What sort of fps we are talking about?

That CPU/motherboard combination will provide great performance, but FPS will be limited by the GPU. You can check the BF4 results on a GTX 770 at http://www.techspot.com/review/734-battlefield-4-benchmarks/ That CPU is powerful enough to feed a GTX Titan X.

GhislainG :

I can see that even a i7-920 would give me the max fps so the GTX 770 would be the limiting factor.

A strong CPU helps games like GTA V, but the GPU still is more important.
