Yes I definitely will. I am giving myself 2 yrs to move to 4k gaming. You guys are gem. Regards.

Hello All, Hope you're doing well. I have the joy to say I am very happy about the recent upgrades I made. My gameplay in NFS Heat gives me 94-100fps almost all the time while my GPU is always at peak & CPU <80%. The gameplay is really smooth, consistent & rendering gives it a sense of...

Hi @Vic 40 , Thanks again for your input. My logic went same as yours. Just like you mentioned earlier, people no more buy CPUs to hold 5 yrs. While researching, I also realized the 11th gen is more likely to be paired with RTX3xxx series. Even for later upgrades, the i5 10th gen will still...

Hi @Vic 40, Thanks for commenting just in time. I already placed the order for the 11500 but I can still revert back the order. Can you tell me what is my advantage of the i7 over the i5 ? What do I gain more for the extra bucks ? Will an i7 allow me 1440p gaming if I upgrade my monitor later...

You think it is a bad choice ? Any advice from your end ?

Hi @Vic 40, Thanks trillion for your input. I am really really bang for the buck when it comes to spend money. After reviewing around, I realized the i5 11500 is pretty good competition to the i7 10700. The only meaningful difference is my board supports Turbo Boost max 3.0 & not the i5...

Hi @Vic 40 , Nice to hear from you man. I guess you're following evolution on the thread as well. Can you just confirm if this CPU can also very well handle 1440p gaming ? Thanks for your input.

@Eximo , Thanks a lot for the input. I have a few questions maybe you could help with. I have three criteria for the next processor I'm looking forward to invest in. Firstly, a processor that can also handle 1440p gaming very well. My actual card the gtx1660S is probably one of the cheapest...

@helper800 & @Eximo Thank you both for your input. @Eximo unfortunately not. My case isn't built at all for water cooling. If an i7 would require me water cooling, then I think I rather stay at i5. However I have a case in which I can fit a cooler master hyper 212 lying somewhere in my stuffs...

@Eximo & @helper800 , just to ask, does the i7 need water cool ? My OCed RAM & GPU are giving me great performance to which I am satisfied but I am also wanting to move to a higher than quad core just to eliminate the small imperfections I have randomly. Would you guys advise getting an i7 ?

That's awesome. Took me a while to understand, but i finally got it right. A good mobo and CPU can get to know 2-3 GPUs if well maintained and cooled respectively.

So all this time you've been playing on an OCed 7th gen and all has been fine ? Stable ? what's your GPU ?

That's something I didn't prepare about. I need to think well.

Hey man, yet its still amazing you took time to input something. I think yes you're right. I'm waiting a bit to see how deep my pocket can get. Because if not an 11th gen, I could simply pick an i9 of the 10th gen.

For sure ! This is what I like about this community ! The sharing of knowledge. I've never OCed before and I don't like it neither, but this time I am having to in order to get the best performance out of budget rig. The XMP is a life saviour. Usually there is 2 profiles, number 1 has a few...
