Hello guys! I wanted to know to what processor should I upgrade my old first gen i7 870. I was thinking of the G3258 but the major drawback is the 2 cores. I was also thinking of the athon x4 860K. Anyways, if you have suggestions, tell me!
For single threaded load the g3258 is faster so if you want to game right now (before dx12 has any effect + depends on a game) is better to buy that. But in a long run it's better to keep your 870 or upgrade to quad core. + when you buy g3258 you have to add the cost of a new mobo.
Are you sure? I'm planning on overclocking the G3258 (if I buy it) on it's maximum of 4.7 GHz and the Athlon x4 860K (if I buy it) on it's maximum of 4.4 GHz
