-Hello. To not keep this long imma just gather the whole topic in one. All this started when i was trying to change my gpu 1-2 years ago, we've all been in that situation when we dont know things perfectly but we still do it cuz we want to, well that was me, a reckless guy trying to buy a gpu to increase my fps ingame. Little did i know about the compatibility with the other parts, i thought that every pc part works individually and theyre not related to each other. So i was forced to change some other parts too in regard for it to work properly, like powersupply and motherboard.
All this little things caused and reflected to me in the most bad ways possible, i ended up with a +30% bottleneck which has kept me frustrated all this time. I had an i5-4440 3.10ghz, which i still have it, and proceeded to buy a gtx 1660 6gb. Like literally, the amount of things that the cpu limits on my pc its enormous and absurd at the same time. Cant even play games in low settings cuz ill end up with stuttering and 50-60fps due to the 100% usage of the cpu, meanwhile if i play on ultra-high settings, that causally gives me +100-200fps and no stuttering at all. Its the opposite of what every gamer wants. People decrease their settings for more fps, while here i am, playing on ultra settings just because i need to get that gpu usage above 20% at least.
I've been searching a while to change something again on my pc, but i always ended up with a "conclusion" of- if i do that, i might as well just buy a new pc, because to decrease the bottleneck, i had to change the cpu, but to change the cpu, i had to change the motherboard, as well as ram etc etc etc. Thats why ive been searching about the compatibility of what my motherboards supports more. Its a gigabyte h81m-s which is created in a way to only support 4th gen cpu's. Regarding this, the only cpu that works best for me right now, according my calculations its the i7-4790k, which is the best as far as my motherboard can handle.
Now what i want you guys to do, is give me a hand on this, or some warnings at least. The worst part is that most websites that im trying to buy this cpu from, dont ship to my country, but ive found a seller on aliexpress, which ive contacted and as far as ive seen theyre not like the type of "made in china" products are made. The price is considerable and looks perfect to me. The only thing that bothers me is the cooler, if i change the cpu, do i need to change the cooler too? And what do i need to know before purchasing it? What do i need to be more careful on? Ill leave here my pc specs and the link of the cpu that im trying to purchase.
