Hi, have had a i5 4440 in my pc for 2 years. Thinking of changing. What would be the best upgrade for around $200
Is it worth changing to lag 1151 too?
I would probably wait for amd zen or intel kaby lake but if you can't wait i would get the intel i5 6600 but it will not be a very big upgrade from your i5 4440 so i would spend more money to get a i7 or wait for zen/ kaby lake.
IS there a reason you want to change? You will only notice a 5-10% difference switching to Skylake, so nothign special there. That is a nice mid-range CPU

The i5 4440 should still be decent for gaming and going to a skylake i5 is not worth it at all. Best bet is either keep the i5 for now or save up a bit more and get an i7 4790 which is even a good amount better than any skylake i5 and is in par with the i7 6700.
