Hey, I've got a pretty outdated CPU which is likely bottlenecking my system a lot... (i5-650 @ 3.2GHz)
I'm thinking about upgrading to the i5-4690k and want to know if I'll get a substantial fps increase if I do so, mainly in games like PUBG, CSGO, Assassins Creed...

My current specs:
CPU: i5-650 @ 3.2GHz
RAM: 12GB (2x2GB DDR3 & 2x4GB DDR3)
MOBO: Intel DH55TC
GPU: GTX 1050Ti 4GB

Looking at the 4690k because it seems like one of the best CPUs compatible with ddr3 memory.
Thanks for any feedback

I ran a i5-4690K on an Asus Z87 gryphon board with a GTX 970 SSC and best PUBG gave was about 60fps (every setting on high) 75 fps at low settings. if your going to get an i5-4690k I suggest get the 17-4790k because this is what I run and I get 85-125fps at high settings on PUBG with same video card. all depends on what you want to spend/play style.

But that said since your video card is an 1050ti, it will be well paired with the i5-4690k to play the games (low settings) your mentioned. But I suggest you stay away form H and P series board you would be wasting the cpu power, unless you pair that H or P motherboard with a 4690 (non K) model.

Are you buying second hand? because that's the only reason I'd consider the 4 series i5 now, they are up to 8 series now after all so that's still pretty old.
They are still very capable CPUs but several generations out of date.

If buying new then a Ryzen 5 now or a i5 8 series when cheap boards become available would seem like a more sensible updgrade. Of course you will also need RAM for the newer platforms.
