Hello guys, can help me decide, I am currently in dilemma on whether to upgrade my computer now.
I managed to find good deal on intel set: i5 10400 + Asrock B460M pro4 + 16GB DDR4 2666Mhz Ram for usd $280 and bought already impulsively.
I currently have old i5 4690 + 16GB Ram and mostly using computer for multi-tasking and work (Coding and lots of tab) with very little of video rendering/editing. No gaming so I don't have dGPU, only using iGPU.
I don't have issue with my computer right now and mostly fine for my use case but I just wondering whether now is the best time to upgrade my computer and whether having only 4 c/4t will hinder my work for the next 2 or 3 years.
I currently have 2 options:

I currently have 2 options:
- Upgrade now, my next upgrade will be around 5 to 6 years later.
- Sell 10400 combo to my friend for usd $350 and upgrade my system 2 or 3 years later when ddr5 is out and price stable.
