Hi, I bought my computer pre-built around 3 years ago. It has a very bad processor (Pentium G3220). It is barely able to maintain any games with my graphics card and it is in an 1150 socket. I want to upgrade, but I can't decide between just upgrading to an i5 4690 or upgrading my motherboard, ram (because my current ram is GDDR3) and upgrading to a i5 6500.
The pros and cons I see are that the full upgrade costs around 150 more but will give me more room to upgrade in the future.
My main question is, will the i5 4690, paired with a good graphics card, be able to run new games on high settings 1080p? Or is it worth it to wait longer and do a full upgrade?
