Looking to upgrade e7300 to 4th gen PC compaitible with 5th ?
My main purpose to use PC is running visual studio. I want to upgrade my e7300 PC to a Motherboard that will work with 5th generation processor also.

http://ark.intel.com/products/36463/Intel-Core2-Duo-Pro...

I have look at this one http://ark.intel.com/products/80810/Intel-Core-i5-4690-...

What do you thing, Is i5 money wasting or I3 is enough for Visual studio. I hear quad core also improve compiler speed.

I read on Toms-hardware that 9 Series (H97 or Z97) will work with 5th gen. I read this http://www.asus.com/Motherboards/Z97K/overview/

Do someone have guideline for me to upgrade. I read online that Visual studio 2014 is coming. Someone please check and let me know about both processor 4690 and z97k.

Thanks

I would suggest a H97 and a Xeon 1231 v3. I7 like performance (with Hyperthreading) for i5 like cost.


I search for my location at here http://www.costtocost.in/list/pricelist.pdf other seller like Flipkart, snapdeal and amazon.in doesn't have xeon.

Any idea to get it in India.


Not without higher shipping costs.

I5 then with H97 would be fine. you only need the Z97 and "k" cpu if you want to overclock.
