Hi all!
I'm currently running a cheap little AMD Athlon X4 760K Quad Core Processor at 3.9GHz. I'm looking to upgrade to an Intel i5 4690k with a Gigabyte Z97P-D3 motherboard and the totally unoriginal Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo CPU Cooler. I have a whole zero experience of overclocking, but looking to get up to 4GHz just because I like the round number honestly.
It's gonna cost around £350 ($430-ish) to build, with next-day shipping!
Is this gonna be worth it? Will I actually notice a difference when playing games like Rust, ArmA, The Division? My GPU is a old 750ti, but holds up well enough for me. Any help is appreciated.
