[SOLVED] 3570 or 3770

[littlesitch]

I'm planning to upgrade my CPU from a 2400 to a 3550 or 3770. I'm mainly going to be using it for video games and I've will be pairing it with a GTX 1060 3 gig.

An I5 3550 will not provide much of an upgrade. I would upgrade to the I7 3770 since the hyperthreading really helps it out in modern applications.

https://forums.tomshardware.com/threads/is-the-i7-3770-a-good-upgrade-from-an-i5-2400.3253436/ seems to adequately answer your inquiry.

Does your motherboard support the 3770? I don't see a motherboard.

Will you need a BIOS upgrade?

Only the motherboard's QVL can tell you that.

Is it worth it? I wouldn't pay over $85 for a 3770.

I have dell inspiron 620 and buy a Dell Optiplex 7010 for a very cheap price.

Provided his system supports an i7 3770 it can/will run all modern games @60 fps on a 1080 monitor with the GTX 1060 3gb and 8gb of Ram
