I was thinking of switching to a Gigabyte GA-Z87-D3HP board with Intel i5 4460 haswell. Costing me $255 cause the board is on sale. How much performance increase would i see in games and how much performance difference in real life is there between my current setup and this setup. I play games at 1680x1050 as my monitor only supports that high. Thanks guys. I will be upgrading my videocard later on.
I went from Fx8350 to i5 4690k and gaming performance was a lot better much better fps I then due to a little luck upgraded again to i7 4790k gaming about the same as i5
yeah but my tower is not the greatest for cooling as my side fans are dying lol. I could overclock it as i know i can get good airflow. So i am assuming its a safe bet that intel system would blow my amd system out of the water?
Yeah i am going to ditch my current setup for the intel setup. Got a good deal on board so might aswell give intel another shot.
So far so good. Fresh install of windows 7 64bit so it will smooth sailing. Will bench when everything updates.
