I currently have an i5 650 in my pc and I was looking to upgrade to another cpu that would still use the lga 1156 socket motherboard. Most other cpus that use the 1156 socket have lower clock speeds, but more cores. I was looking for maybe an actual quad-core cpu instead of the i5 650's hyperthreaded dual core. I am looking to do some gaming and maybe some video editing in davinci resolve for some school projects. I'm not looking to spend too much money and I don't mind purchasing used hardware. Would it really be cost effective to upgrade to another lga 1156 cpu with more cores? If so, which one should I purchase for decent cost to performance?
My current system
cpu: i5 650
cpu cooler: stock cooler
motherboard: asus lga 1156 motherboard
ram: 6 gb ddr3
gpu: msi gtx 1050 ti
psu: Corsair 500w
storage: 128gb samsung ssd boot drive and 1 tb WD blue
