Hey All-
About 4-5 years ago I spent a decent amount of cash to build a nice computer. It has served its purpose well and I have been pretty happy with it. Lately, since Legacy of the Void (Starcraft 2) it seems to be lagging a bit more than it used and I was considering upgrading some of the components. My question is should I keep the current motherboard and processor and just upgrade the GPU and Ram? Or should I just make the jump to a newer chipset completely?
Currently Running
Gigabyte GA-X58A-UDR3
i7 950 3.07
CoolMaster Hyper 212
8GB GSKILL Ripjaws DDR31600
EVGA GTX 560ti
Regular hard drive (Not solid state) Cant seem to get a solid state to work on this system
XFX Black Edition 850 power supply
Will I see significant performance boost moving to say a i5 6600k w/ new board and new ram? Is it really worth the cash I would drop?
I use the computer for StarCraft 2 and other than that just normal browsing and work.
Any advice would be welcome. I appreciate it in advance.
There used to be a new build section of this forum but I can't seem to find it anymore?
Thanks
Jay
