FX-8150 Intel Upgrade

[btyrellb125]

I am currently looking for an upgrade my FX-8150 and i was thinking of switching to Intel, but I wasn't really sure what to get. At the moment I am just looking at upgrades so I know what to get when I do finally upgrade. My main reason for upgrading is for gaming, the 8150 is just not cutting it anymore.

how much are you willing to spend?

 

[Dark Lord of Tech]

Get an INTEL 6600k SETUP.

 

[btyrellb125]

How about a 4th Gen I5? Currently don't have the greatest budget, so I was going to risk buying a used one for now.

 

[Dark Lord of Tech]

4th Gen i5's are very good.

 

[btyrellb125]

What is a decent i5 then? I'm not very familiar with intel

 

[Dark Lord of Tech]

Look into an i5 4460 \ 1150.

What does the + 1 - 4460 mean?

 

[Tradesman1]

Plus 1 to SR-71's answer/suggestion of the 4460 CPU

 

[btyrellb125]

ah, that makes sense now

 

[Tradesman1]

I bet you thought it was some hidden code

 

[btyrellb125]

At first I kind of did

 

[Tradesman1]

No worries, sorry bout that

 

[btyrellb125]

It's fine, as for the topic at hand, what are some of the more lower end decent i7's?

 

[Dark Lord of Tech]

Don't go any lower than 4790k.
