Seeking some advice for upgrading my nearly 2 year old affordable gaming rig.
I feel my G3258 Pentium, moderately overclocked, is struggling now with more recent games - namely stuttering and occasional freezing I've noticed in games like GTA V and Witcher 3.
My MoBo (Z97), memory and GPU are all reasonable, so I think it's time to upgrade the CPU to a proper multi-threaded approach.
I need an 1150 socket option and ideally want to spend less than £100 - I don't mind trying ebay 2nd hand options which fall within the budget.
I know the 4670k or 4690k chips would be the likely best route, but both are looking like £150+ used still...
Suggestions?
