Hello everyone

This year I decide to upgrade my gaming PC , I was thinking to get core I6500 because start handling ddr4 memory .
Now my best friend give me his old computer and my lucky that one came whit i7 4770 and I really happy whit it but Im not sure if i6500 its gonna be more faster and better

Now the question is

you guys think is better idea sell i7 4770 on ebay and use that money on a new i5 6500 or 6500k

I will appreciate your opinions

thanks in advance

Since you already have a 4770, I wouldn't bother considering the upgrade.

The single core performance of the 4770 and 6500 are very similar, with the i7 having the higher base/boost clock speed, and the addition of hyper-threading.

If you could sell it for enough to offset the cost of an i5-6600K and an appropriate Z170 board, then I'd suggest that but chances are very, very slim that you could do that.

I don't see any issues at all running a 4770 - it's a very strong CPU.

the fact that you would have to buy the CPU, motherboard and now a kit of DDR4 can get up there in price so it would be hard to get the money to cover them.

he I7 4770 is just one generation back so you're better off sticking with it

I know it's near impossible, that's what I was trying to say.

IF (hypothetically) the OP could recoup enough to buy the 6600K (to have the added OC benefit) AND a Z170 board, then I would say go for it, but that's very, very unlikely to be an option.

The DDR4 investment will need to happen at some point anyway, so I wouldn't say that cost needs to be recouped from selling the 4770 (but it would be nice)
