Hello Everyone,
I'm currently in search of a budget gaming CPU upgrade that will subsequently have a decent upgrade path in the future.
I am currently running an old FX 4130 (4 cores) OCed to 4.4 GHz.
My System:
CPU: FX 4130
GPU: GTX 750 ti SC
Display: 1080p 60 Hz
RAM: 16 GB (8x2) DDR3 1600 MHz
MOBO: Gigabyte 78LMT-USB3
PSU: FSP Power Man 450W
128 GB PNY SSD
1 TB Toshiba 5400 RPM HDD
Will upgrading to Kaby Lake architecture with the Pentium G4560 provide a significant performance boost from the FX 4130? Will the substitution of 2 logical cores for 2 physical cores reduce performance if I make this change?
I don't multitask much (1 application at a type), and only play off of one display. I play RTS and simulation games mostly.
Also, does anyone know of a good motherboard that will support the G4560, but will allow for a future upgrade to an i5 or higher? I don't need SLI/Crossfire or anything fancy.
Thank you!
