I would like to know if it would be worth more to wait years from now to replace everything or to get a 4th gen Intel processor for my motherboard and if it would be able to handle the processor.
I may need to buy a single heatsink 120mm cooler, but I don't know how relavant it would be in today's CPU age, so I might as well just buy a processor with a stock cooler instead. I just don't know if a 4th generation would be worth it if at all, even more without OC.
I know the 4440 is painfully not enough, but it's what I have.
