Morning everyone!
Just recently picked up a custom prebuilt to get back into the PC life after owning a Mac Mini for a few months (Never again)
Specs are i3 10100, 1660 super, msi z490 and while I thought the i3 would be enough, I feel the limits of during gaming, browsing, editing videos etc.
I was wondering what would be a great upgrade to go to from the i3 while staying within the 1200 socket family?
(Prices are in CAD)
Current options are:
I really don't plan on changing sockets any time soon and will most likely be running for the next 2 years at least and would pair one of them with a newer 40xx GPU in the future.
I love great all "aroundness" mid range of the 11600k, but I feel like I'd be happy with the extra power from the i7 or i9 as I'm trying to get into editing photos/videos/gameplay more.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!
