Bit of a dilemma. Shall I update my i7 [email protected] ( will go to 4.2GHz with more volts) - as per sig with a 250Gig SSD ( only have SATA2 on the MB) and fresh OS install and something like a Gtx 770, or spend an additional £300 for a 4670K new Z87MB and RAM and swap out my i7 kit at the same time.
I don't play FPS type games, mainly RTS and Sim racing. Not played any modern games recently so the current rig has been fine. But I want to get Company of Heros 2 ( heard it pushes the CPU) and Total War Rome 2. Resolution is 1920x 1200 ( just the one screen now). Other than that, just regular home computer stuff, browsing, using MS Office etc...
If I stick with the i7 I will probably build a complete new rig come Skylake. If I go with Haswell now I probably won't.
What do you reccomend?
