Hi all,
I am about to build a high-end pc when prices fall back, meanwhile i was thinking of reviving my old 1155 socket with a used i7 3770 or possibly a Xeon E3-1270 v2 that can be bought for a fair amount of dollars. I 'm using my pc mostly as a common desktop but i also do some casual gaming. Thing is my i5 3340 is starting to struggle with the latest AAA titles that demand high frequency multi-threaded calculations. Typical example is Battlefield_1. My board cannot overclock as it's in a low end budget tier so K cpus are not in my concern. I ve seen some benchmarks and passmarks for the above cpus and hell they look like are still smoking 6th and 7th gen processors. Is it true? Does it worth it?
