Hi all, I have the itch to upgrade my PC but not sure what. The main thing I was looking at was upgrading my 2500k. Most posts I read tell me the 2500k is still "fine" when overclocked so I'm not sure if it would be a waste of money doing it. If I did upgrade the CPU id probably go for a 5820k/6700k.
I recently bought a mid range i5 haswell for another PC and noticed it performs a lot smoother than my 2500k. my 2500k build seems to have a couple of weird stutters every now and again from when i first boot or when using chrome the mouse will stutter for a couple of seconds. It might seem minor but im also wondering how its effecting my gaming performance which seems fine for some games but it is hard to tell from game to game depending on the engine used. my MMO Archeage has some issues with FPS at times but it could be a game engine issue. Fallout 4 seemed to run ok with shadows disabled.
Am I being silly?
