Hi. I need help upgrading my PC.
My specs:
GTX 1070
i5 4460S
Asus H81M-E (mATX, LGA 1150)
16GB DDR3 1600MHz RAM
1920x1080, 144hz Monitor
So... I have a pretty big bottleneck going on. As you can see, my CPU is very bad compared to my GPU. And also, my motherboard natively supports overclocking even tho its an H-model. Thanks, Asus! But it cant overclock alot. The "VRM"'s will get too hot (whatever they are) from what ive heard.
Should i go Skylake and get i5 6600K or stay Haswell and get i5 4690K or i7 4790K? If stay Haswell, which of those two CPU's? And also, im kind of on an budget, so i cant continuously upgrade my PC every half a year when i get a new CPU. You guys think Haswell will hold up for lets say 1,5 years? I know Skylake will, but is it worth it for me to upgrade my Motherboard, RAM and CPU which would cost 100e less than getting an i7 4790K...
And also, my PC was a prebuilt which i upgraded. It has pretty good parts. (yes yes prebuilt such noob why would you ever buy prebuilt... I didnt know at the time.)
So upgrading motherboard could fuck up the PC, right? If that happened, what would i do? Would i just need to go buy another copy of Windows from like Kinguin or whatever? Or would i have to do a clean install on Windows, too?
And yes, i AM aware that i will have to change motherboard and RAM to go skylake.
