elder scrolls online or save for new cpu?

[Benjaminbarker]

Hi everyone, I have a problem, I want to get elder scrolls online, but to play it I have to pay $15 sub every month. I am just 16 and I get the equivalent of $40 allowance every month. I have a i5 2400 and a gtx760,to upgrade to a 4670k will cost about $540 ( I will probably sell my old stuff). So should I save all my money or should I take the game and upgrade later?

The Core i5-2400 is still pretty good, you don't really need an upgrade in my opinion.

I would personally say get Wildstar instead of Elder Scrolls Online, but that's a matter of taste at least to some extent.

Hello Benjaminbarker,

Why buy a new motherboard just to get a better processor? Just get an I5 2500k and overclock it, way cheaper and the performance destroys any game out there.

I would get the hardware first, then games.

Ok thank you, wildstar looks good, but I am into eso for the lore and my friend will also be playing it.

Edit: I have a h61 motherboard so I can't overclock.

Like Sakkura said, you don't need to upgrade the CPU, it still has plenty of juice and it's a quad-core, lots of applications out there only use two cores, so you wouldn't see much difference in terms of performance.

If you want to have more FPS in games, get a new graphics card instead.
