Hi guys,
I've got a Pentium G3258 3.2 GHz processor on a Gigabyte Z97-HD3 motherboard. I use the PC mainly for number crunching in Excel and Task Manager shows that the CPU is the limiting factor, regularly maxing out (the spreadsheets are quite large and contain lots of data and formulas). Memory and hard drive don't seem to be an issue.
I've done some research and I can keep the motherboard and upgrade to an I7-4790k.
Will this give me a big speed boost?
Thanks
