Hey guys,
I am looking to upgrade my gaming rig that I put together back in 2014.
I play overwatch 2, and I am getting horrible FPS with my current rig, even at the lowest settings
Here is my current setup:
Motherboard: Gigabyte Z97X-Gaming 3
Graphics card: Nvidia GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER
CPU: Intel Core i5-4690K
RAM: 12gb DDR3
Cooling: Corsair Cooling Hydro Series H60 CPU Cooler System
Power Supply: Corsair HX650
I was doing some research, and it seems like spending money in a better CPU will help with FPS. So I was looking into the Intel core i5-12400 as I am running on a budget, and this should be a massive upgrade for me regardless.
My question is, would you recommend this CPU for me, and if so, can I use my current motherboard and RAM for this CPU? Or do I have to purchase another motherboard and new set of RAM.
Thank you!
