I'm thinking of maybe upgrading to a i5 in the new year but not sure which to get? I will not be over clocking it as my board dosnt allow it...but... I'm still thinking of maybe getting this https://www.overclockers.co.uk/inte...ocket-lga1151-processor-retail-cp-579-in.html

as clock speed seems faster than my other choice which is this https://www.overclockers.co.uk/inte...ocket-lga1151-processor-retail-cp-585-in.html

all I want is something I can upgrade to while keeping my same psu etc and also something which will run good with either a 980ti or gtx 1070 as I will eventually also be upgrading my gpu at some point.

if I'm not over clocking will my second choice be good enough? or am I still better off getting the unlocked version?

thanks
 
thanks for reply, I will be able to afford the cpu before I will be able to afford the gpu so that's why I'm planning on upgrading my cpu first, will the 6600k handle a 980ti or gtx 1070 ok? as I'm deffo going with one of those 2 cards in the future :)

also do you think I will be ok with the same psu after I upgrade? as I havnt had this psu long

thanks
 
thanks for reply, yes I will defo consider one if they turn out to be good and use the same socket as the skylake chips but if not I will defo be getting one of the skylake cpus as I wont have the cash to upgrade board again on top of cpu
