I'm in need of an opinion on an upgrade I'm thinking about. Would this change be worth it?

Would this improve my gaming computer? Going for games like Total War, Watch Dogs, A Creed.

From a i5 4690K (3.5Ghz) with Z97 board, to an i7 3820K (3.6Ghz) with an X79-GD45 (4D) spec.

Thanks!
 
I'd stick with the i5 due to two reasons..

1.Its .1ghz difference :/
2.To my knowledge Hyper-Threading which is used in the i7 is not used in current games.

Then again go with what you prefer.
 


If your getting if for free, yea go for it, although make sure your BIOS version supports the new CPU.
