Good afternoon! I have a few questions about replacing CPU. I'm beginner, so any advice would be very appreciated. I want to buy Intel® Core™ i5-4460 (used, not new), basically for gaming.
1) Do I need better power supply unit? Currently I have 500 W.
2) Do I need to replace CPU cooler with newer one, or will the old one suffice?
3) I was reading specification of i5-4460, turns out that it has 84 wattage, is it safe to run it? The one that I have is G3220 (54W).
This is configuration that I have:
Operating System
Windows 10 Pro 64-bit
CPU
Intel Pentium G3220 @ 3.00GHz
Haswell 22nm Technology
RAM
12.0GB Dual-Channel DDR3 @ 665MHz (9-9-9-24)
Motherboard
Gigabyte Technology Co. Ltd. H81M-S1 (SOCKET 0)
Graphics
20EN33 (1600x900@60Hz)
Intel HD Graphics (Gigabyte)
4095MB NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 Ti (NVIDIA)

SLI Disabled
Storage
465GB Seagate ST3500312CS (SATA )
Optical Drives

If you have maybe better recommendation for CPU please tell me, I would be much obliged!
