My PC specs:
CPU: i3-2120 3.3Ghz
GPU: AMD Radeon R7 250 1GB
MB: H61M-P20 (LGA 1155 socket)
RAM: 8GB
PSU: LC500W
I primarily use my PC to play video games, at least while it could support playing new games on native res.
I will upgrade my GPU to Zotac GTX 1050 Ti Mini next week, so I was thinking about upgrading my CPU too.
For now i will have to keep the motherboard, because I'm on a tight budget.
I was thinking about getting:
i5 3570(k) (40-50eur, 'k' - 80eur)
i7 2600(k) (60eur, 'k' - 100eur)
i7 3770(k) (90eur, 'k' - 100+ eur)
I've put the 'k' in brackets, because I am not quite sure if its worth spending extra money to get the 'k' model, I never overclocked my i3, am not sure if my MB even supports it and i never actually tried to.
I also am going to buy an used CPU, my budget is tight and the CPU's are just so expensive.
Anything I should watch out for when buying the CPU?
