i have an older haswell i5 4460 based system with a gtx 1060 6gb-while its able to run most games satisfactorily,it struggles while running cpu intensive titles like AC origins,Ac odyssey,metro exodus and so on.In these games,the fps drops to the low 30s(such as while exploring areas with many npcs in ac origins).
As i currently dont have the means to upgrade all components,i was thinking whether upgrading only the cpu to a haswell i7 would make any difference to its performance or not.
I found someone who's willing to sell me his i7 4790k for a reasonable price-but will getting it be worthwhile?Will there be any noticeable improvements in performance while running those demanding titles?Or will i be better off upgrading to a completely new setup when i've managed to save up a bit more?
please advice what i should do.
ps- the mobo is a gigabyte b85 d3ha and its equipped with 12gb ddr3 ram(running at 1333 mhz).
