Using an old work desktop for HTPC. Considering upgrading the CPU because it struggles with 4k video. It comes close but skips on ocassion. I used Afterburner to watch my resource usage and it shows my CPU pegged out.
I currently have an i5 2400. My research has come up with that the best I can do for an upgrade on the current motherboard is the i7 2600k. (LGA 1155 socket and Q65 chipset) Please correct me if you see something wrong there.
I looked up the benchmarks for the i5 2400, i7 2600 and i7 2600k.

In case the link doesn't work. 2400 = 5928, 2600 = 8210, 2600k = 8464
Can I use these numbers to come up a percentage better? 8464/5928=1.428. So is the 2600k 43% better than the 2400?
