i5 6th or 4th gen ??

Shark_11 · Jun 25, 2016

I have upgraded my pc to gtx 950+ 12gb ram (8+4)+ Corsair 450 psu
Only thing left to be upgraded is CPU currently I have Intel pentium g3220 with gigabyte lga1150 motherboard
I,m confused between 6th gen and 4th gen i5
If a go for 6th gen then i have to buy a new LGA 1151 mobo and ddr4 ram but if stick to lga 1150 and ddr3 I can save little money
What should I do ??

Nothing wrong with sticking with an LGA 1150 configuration. Skylake isn't that much better that it's worth investing in an entirely new motherboard, RAM and CPU for. I'd recommend keeping your current configuration depending on the board model, and RAM, and just upgrade the CPU. Any of the Haswell refresh i5 or i7 chips offers within about 5% of Skylake when it comes to gaming.

Which 4th gen i5 should I go with ?

Since you already have the motherboard, just stick with haswell. If it was a new build from scratch then skylake would be the choice though.

What motherboard do you have?

Shark_11 · Jun 25, 2016

I have low end gigabyte h81m-s ! Should I upgrade my mobo or will it work I,ll have $250 budget for this upgrade

Nah, that board is fine until something goes wrong with it or you decide you just want something higher end. It's not a high tiered board, but it's fine. What is your budget?

I,m getting i5- 4460 for $198/13500 Inr here in india

That's a good option. I'd do that.

Shark_11 · Jun 25, 2016

To be honest I have no fix budget i,m upgrading my components one by one not all at once I,ve already bought zotac gtx 950 amp edition+ corsair vs 450 + 12 GB ram

Shark_11 · Jun 25, 2016

I,m not looking to upgrade by mobo in near future buying a ssd and CPU case are my next priority then I might think of new mobo

Darkbreeze · Jun 25, 2016

That 4460 is perfectly fine for just about any current GPU card configuration, and certainly more than good enough for the GTX 950.

Shark_11 · Jun 25, 2016

Thank you for the good help I,ll go with that

Just click on the "reply to (name)" with the arrow next to it if you want to quote sombody, and then type below the quoted text that appears in the box. Using the quotation mark button doesn't work right.
