This is the list of the things I wanted to upgrade.I would like to play games like Witcher 3 on 1080p. How much fps would I get? Do you think this is ok or do i have to change anything? I'm on a budget of 500€, have 550w power supply and I think this is all you guys need.
 


Would you prefer 2gb version or 4gb? I have 1080p screen.
 

Where? Does it involve extra texture packs for instance.If so maybe ask the OP if he's going to use those.




Why indeed?
 
You mean they get hotter? All have the same TDP. Maybe depends on the chip you get.

A nice after market cooler would be on my list anyway.Doesn't even need to be an expensive one,something like a Deepcool GammXX S40 or Cooler Master Hyper TX3 EVO.With hours of gaming a good bit of extra cooling will be nice.
 


At least that's what I remember hearing. And that is the reason they brought the improved thermal design in 4670 and 4690. TDP is of course the same in them but that doesn't give the whole truth about how hot they get.
 
Other option would be undervolting.All chips are not the same and motherboards as well.Maybe some set the stock Vcore abit high,a possibillity.Could manually lower that,test with prime5 for stability.

Anyway,with a few hours gaming will the system and therefore cpu get hot so the cooler is a nice addition.
 


Well I'm going to use texture packs so ill probably go with 4gb
 


Well so that i5 i wanted to buy just lowered its price for 10$ so yea ill probably buy a cooler.
