Will going from the i5 3.4mhz stock to the i7 4690k 4.0mhz stock give me a performance boost in games?. I'm guessing it won't in some games but say games with a heavy cpu usage?. Really hoping to find another 5 or so fps in games.
I don't overclock the cpu (don't know how too!) so I would be leaving the 4690k stock too.
 
Why buy a K if you wont use it, tbh i would just keep the 4670

Because it's 4ghz base clock is faster than the 3.8 boost of the i5. And it boosts to 4.4. So I'm getting an extra 600mhz and hyper threading. Surely that will make a difference in games???
 
Using a gtx 980 and will probably upgrade to a 980ti soon. I Overclock the cards.
And I really don't mind the bad value for fps it's part and parcel of upgrades. Although at £250 I would want some improvement even if it's just a few more min fps.
I feel an i7 and a 980ti will just about get me to a level I'm ok with. Next year when the new gen of cards come out it will be a whole new PC upgrade for me.
 
What's wrong with wanting to upgrade? There's been some odd comments from people.
I'm not saying it's the best upgrade but that's why I was asking opinions. I now have them and unless there is a game that really uses the hyper threading I will just stay with the i5 for now I'm getting a 980ti anyhow, just wanted to make my PC as strong as possible.
