Hi everyone.

I do have a evga GTX 970 acx 2.0 GPU

Is replacing A8 7600 by i7 2600 is a good choice?

I play on 1920 x 1080p resolution with ultra settings and i get 30-50fps in far cry 4.

Will be there any increase in fps with i7 2600 .

Thanks in advance

Then its good for the price. You can get it. However if you spend $100 more, you can get current gen. kabylake which will give you much more performance in terms of gaming... http://cpu.userbenchmark.com/Compare/Intel-Core-i7-2600-vs-Intel-Core-i5-7500/620vs3648

There will be some increase. Considering its two level up in terms of processing power. But then again, it depends on how much you are spending on it. You have to change the motherboard as well as it wont be compatible with AMD platform.
Why not get onto a newer generation altogether. That is unless you are getting second hand at a good price.
