I have old esprimo p910 pc that I am thinking of tweaking a bit and I need to know if intel G4560 processor better then intel i5-3470?
thank you in advance!
I think the a 3rd-gen i5 or i7 is still valuable in modern gaming unless you move to high-end. Definitely a cheaper option than moving to a new platform. To me ~$300+ on a new platform would only be justified by a $400+ GPU. But Ryzen 3 1200 is not much faster if any at all than 3rd-gen i5.
thank you everyone for answers. I think for now i will go with ryzen 3 1200 option
If you already have the LGA 1155 platform I think that would be a very expensive option. The i5-3470 can be had for $60 on eBay and can beat even the Ryzen 3 1300X in most games.
You will need a new Windows licence if you change motherboard, the OEM licence that would have come with such a pre built pc is tied to the original motherboard. Just remember to factor in this cost.
