Greetings,
I'd like to upgrade my old i5-3470 3.2/3.6 ghz CPU since it can't handle Battlefield 5 ( at least not in conquest). The PC will be mainly used for gaming & coding, no video rendering or streaming.
The graphics card is a GTX 1050 TI 4GB, i guess I'll keep it for another year before upgrading.
The CPU should be overclockable to lengthen its lifespan.
After reading a lot about the different CPUs available and looking at benchmarks I think that's a reasonable setup :
i7 8700k 400€
ASRock Z370 Pro4 100€
16GB Corsair Vengeance LPX DDR4-3000 115€
Am I paying too much for the performance gained? I do prefer Intel over AMD, so I will be overpaying no matter what.
