should i buy new cpu (4690k) and overclock it for gaming

[athletics]

I currently have a xeon 1245-v3 3.4 ghz quad core with hyper threading. i was gonna put it in my cool basement and sli two 980 gtx ti cards for gaming on my 4k tv. should i keep the current cpu or should i buy a 4690k and overclock it to 4.4 ghz for better gaming? or would it not matter that much. money is a little issue. i could use the $500 on other stuff but I want to game.

I'd say buy either a 4690k which should have better performance when OC'd (on stock clocks it won't beat that Xeon)

The best idea would be to buy atleast a i7 4790k or higher. The 4790k will beat that Xeon no matter what, and even more when overclocked. And it shouldn't have any problems running two 980ti's.

I can't exactly tell you how much FPS you will gain you will gain some for sure though. But nevertheless, upgrading to a 4790k will be worth it over the 4690k for sure if you are upgrading from a Xeon 1245-v3.
