My current rig:
Mobo: B75MA-P45
CPU: i5-2500k (want to overclock but not possible with current mobo to increase performance)
Cooler: stock
GPU: R7 240
Ram: 8GB DDR3 1600Mhz
Feature upgrade:
Mobo: MAXIMUS VIII HERO
CPU: i5-6600k (going to overclock to 4.5Ghz)
Cooler: Nepton 240m
GPU: R9 390 or GTX 970
Ram: 8GB DDR4 2133Mhz
I've had this rig for around 3 years got it in 2012 and I really love to play games and I want to play Star Wars Battlefront and Star Citizen when they release on ultra 1080p resolution. I can't just buy a new motherboard for the 2500k so I can overclock it because in my country they don't sell motherboards with that chipset anymore. So I need to buy it from another country and because of that the prize can get up to the same prize as a MAXIMUS VIII HERO because for shipping and other things you need to pay for. Motherboards with that chipset is also a bit hard to find at least I struggled with that and some that I managed to find are not even good.
So is it worth to upgrade?
