Hey guys/girls,

so currently I am thinking of replacing my i5-4460 (socket 1150) with a newer cpu. Now the problem is that haswell is not being supportet anymore with new cpu's and I think I need to buy an i7 with a 1151 socket... Guys what should I do? Buying a new motherboard, new ram and a new processor, or keep my motherboard, ram and buy a haswell i7 4*** ? Is it worth or do I have to change it? Or are haswell processors good enough to keep gaming for the next 3-4 years. I hate that haswell is not bein supported anymore and I have to give so much money for refreshing my pc... I am only using this PC for 2 years and 1151 is so hyped.

H1Z1 is a code mess and has been from the start. It was based around a Heavily modified DX9 CryEngine and has been upgraded partially to DX10. I heard they were going to up it to DX11 but I don't know if that has hit live or not. 80 fps constant in H1Z1 is surprising but doesn't include how bad the servers themselves are, input lag and graphics glitches are constant as well as the servers taking nose dives when you around a hacker. Two years ago then banned 25000 accounts for hacking but that has failed to really put a end to it.

I'd go for a Haswell i7, if you can buy one used for cheaper than a newer i7, and it should last you for the next 3-4 years if PC gaming keeps going in the direction that it is moving. The new socket has few advantages, and DDR4 is way more expensive than DDR3. I would stick to it.

That depends on your budget. The cheap way would be to just upgrade to a I5 4690K and look into Overclocking that will easily get you 2 more years of near max settings. The newer socket is better yes but not by leaps and bound, your gain isn't going to be massive for the higher price of the upgrade.

I'd say stay with your i5-4460. It is still quite capable vs. what's currently out there.
You'd probably get more of a gaming boost by either upgrading the video card, adding a SSD, or possibly adding more RAM. It is hard to say though without knowing the other specs of your machine.

^ +1 what bloodroses says .
Is there some performance issue you're currently having that makes you think you need to upgrade ??
The 4460 is still decent enough , it's not a million miles off the i5 6500/7400 & people are building new rigs with these.

Upgrade when you actually need to , not just because you think your CPU is old.
I wouldn't entertain doing a rebuild to a new socket anyway until the ryzen 4c/8t & 6c/12t chips are out in a couple of months.

80 fps shouldn't be laggy (although some say 120fps is ideal in some online shooters). It sounds like there might be something else going on there. Is that your max or average fps. What are you minimum fps? Also, what monitor are you currently using?

From what I had read, h1z1 is poorly optimized, so I am not sure what kind of effect that may be in relation to the issue then.
