I want to upgrade my PC. I use it for gaming mostly. These are the components I want to buy:
MSI H97M-G43
GeForce GTX 780 Ti 2GB DDR5
2x4 or 2x8 RAM (nothing specific yet)
The PSU I have for ~3 years is Chieftec CTG-500-80P 500W. Not sure how important that is.
Now, I have the Intel Core i5-2300 2.8GHz, overclocked to 3.1GHz. How relative this CPU will be over the following 1 or 2 years? Should I be able to run most of the new games that will come out?
The new CPU that I'm considering is Core i5-4460 @ 3.2GHz, but that seems too expensive, and I don't want to spend money on it unless I have to.
If I decide to upgrade the CPU, will I have to change the PSU?
Can I additionally overclock my i5-2300? 3.1 GHz is the maximum I can do in BIOS. If I can, will I need some better cooling for it?
