Emiiru Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 Seems like a wise upgrade, especially when you're going from DDR2 memory to DDR3 lol. I personally don't think a CPU upgrade is worth it most of the time, considering performance only jumps about 10% per generation, and you have to get new motherboard, and new RAM, which can be pretty price hefty. The upgrade I looked at for my rig costs just as much as a 780 ti. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zherlong Posted June 30, 2014 Author Share Posted June 30, 2014 ddr2 to ddr3, what improvement u get? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zherlong Posted June 30, 2014 Author Share Posted June 30, 2014 Yes cpu doesnt worth it, I change from amd to intel becos many games have issue with amd processors. So I dun want to wait for patch if anything happens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickenjoy Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 (edited) Just don't forget the SSD, otherwise your upgrade is deemed worthless. Lol HD to SSD is probably the best upgrade one could buy Edited June 30, 2014 by chickenjoy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadMan! Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 Regardless, those are all upgrades & maybe worth it depending on the price are you paying. You could find a similar ASRock or Gigabyte board for cheaper than the MSI Z87 G45. MSI Is great and all, but the main reason people buy them is due to the design color; I am one of those people... (regret it due to price) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arthamos Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 Intel processors are the best for games. i-5 is enough for games only. If you are buying 4670 without K and you won't be overclocking it's the best choice. Also if you wont' be overclocking buy the cheapest motherboard. MSI, ASUS are overpriced because of colors on them and their signs on them. Read some PC forums. Ppl there advice what is the best choice. SSD is not top priority. It will help a lot but it can be bought later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aphexes Posted July 4, 2014 Share Posted July 4, 2014 Honestly I'd pass on the i5 and get something like an AMD FX 6000 or 8000 series. More bang for your buck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arthamos Posted July 4, 2014 Share Posted July 4, 2014 no offense but AMD processors are 1000 years after Intel atm and nothing can change that. AMD processors and Intel i7 are good only for coding, rendering, streaming and other things that need a computational power and HT. If you only play games i5 are best in comparison price/quality. I'm not expert but I read some forums in my country bout it recently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aphexes Posted July 4, 2014 Share Posted July 4, 2014 Me personally I got a cheap AMD FX 6120 for the time being and I can't be happier with it. I guess it's much personal preference, but I really enjoy my processor. All up to OP though~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
