Hey everyone,

I am looking to upgrade my CPU from my previous Intel Core i3 4130. I'll put my specs below. Right now I am thinking about these processors to upgrade, but I'm unsure which would be the ideal one, if any. I'm looking for something that will be sufficient for gaming and video editing. My previous CPU used an LGA 1150 socket so that's what I assume I have to use for whatever I upgrade. These are some CPUs I'm considering:

(MY OLD CPU) https://ark.intel.com/products/77480/Intel-Core-i3-4130-Processor-3M-Cache-3_40-GHz

https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIADZJ68A1784&cm_re=1150-_-19-117-369-_-Product

My Specs:

PSU: EVGA 600w

CPU: Intel core i3 4130 (3.4 ghz)

Mobo: Biostar b85s3+

Ram: 8gb (1 stick)

GPU: EVGA GTX 1050 Ti

HDD: (2) WD 1 tb (black and blue)

Please let me know if you have any CPU recommendations for my socket, and link me to any other CPUs that would be good for my system. Thanks.

Cheers, MaliciousBanana
 
Solution
An i7-4790K is supported on that motherboard. That is the top end you can get. After that a 4770K and a 4690(K) ...

You will have to buy used. So it will depend on what you can get a deal on.
