Hello Everyone,
For quite a while Ive been struggling with various PC upgrades.
After upgrading to SSD + new graphic card the time has some for CPU upgrade (boost?)
Please let me know what you think:
My specs:
(if the picture fails)
i5 750 lynnfield @ 2.67 GHZ
8Gigs of memory
GTX 760 - MSI Twin Razr 2gb version
GA-H55M-S2H
500W power supply
With the GPU upgrade lately I have been having a blast.. until games like Far Cry 4, which stutter on any given graphic option (low-ultra/nvidia).
I did some research and found out it will most likely be my CPU bottlenecking the GPU.
From what I see I have 2 options:
1. Buy a powerful cooler (Cooler Master Hyper 212+ EVO e.g.) and overlock my i5 750 to upwards of 3.8 GHZ
I tried intelburn test with my stock cooler, but i had to shut that project down immediately due to my cores reaching too high temperatures.
- Do you think that the performance boost from overclock to 3.8 would be enough to eliminate the stuttering I'm currently experiencing?
- I found out somewhere that my current (rather low end) Mobo is only able to handle 3.8 GHZ so I would not push it upwards of 4.0 GHZ.
- Is it correct that 3.8ghz would be the maximum power I would be able to get from this setup?
(there are many OC guides so I will then simply follow once specifically for i5 750)
2. Buy something along the lines of Intel Core i5-4690K
- I would opt for this "overkill" to avoid having to upgrade CPu for another 5-6 years
- but that would also mean Power Supply + Motherboard upgrade as well.
I know that most of you will probably recommend going for option 2, but that is rather expensive in comparison and I would like to exhaust option 1 before going there.
I'm sorry for the wall of text. Any reply would be much appreciated!
Cheers,
