Hi all, just bought a cheap PC from my cousin who had basically thrown a few of his old parts into it to get rid of them.
Specs.
Gigabyte GA Z77 DS3H
I5 2500k @ 4.4Ghz
GTX 1060 6GB
EVGA 500w PSU
I'm a bit out of the loop with PC specs having been mainly a console gamer for a few years. And as I only paid £250 for the PC from a budget of £500 I have £250 left to play with. (already have a monitor, KB+M etc).
I realise (I think) that upgrading my GFX card beyond the 1060 is probably pointless with the 2500k so I was wondering if it was worth upgrading the CPU and what my best choice would be for this motherboard?.
I do not wish to change the motherboard as my performance in games is already more than good enough for me but but would be willing to upgrade the CPU if it would give me any appreciable gains in performance.
Or would I be better off just as I am and keep the £250?
Thanks for any help.
