Hello community, it's coming up to my 18th birthday (28th september) and was wondering what cpu to upgrade to.
currently i am running an I5 4690 (no overclock motherboard says no to it) and my current specs are rx 480 8gb vram and 500 watt psu 16gb ram the cpu socket is the lga 1150. my plan is to upgrade to a 750 watt psu and have a rx 580 to crossfire with the 480 but i am unsure what to upgrade the processor to because that will bottleneck my pc. Also would it be more economic for me to get a 650 psu instead of 750 or will the 650 not have enough power to crossfire the cards? Thanks to anyone who read and helps :)

Not going to be worth it. You're looking at a partial system overhaul - cpu/motherboard/ram/psu - in order to make that configuration work, and said configuration only works in certain titles.
Plus, the cost of an I7 cpu of the same generation as your current one still runs for the price of assembling a new cpu/mobo/ram combo.
