Could you comment on if upgrading to skylake would be a safe bet though? An lga 1151 MOBO and the i5-6600 are on my radar since I can get them both for a good $300, but like I said in my original post, I have a 500w PSU. I'm considering just waiting for Ryzen, but I doubt I'll be able to get my hands on one due to it being new hardware and likely selling out fast and going for double the price for a while, like with what happened with the RX series of GPUs. the IPC gains and additional threads will be far more beneficial per dollar spent than going from a Sandybridge to Ivybrdge processor.

for the cost though, just wait it out for Ryzen and do a full platform upgrade like i'm doing. bumping that up to say 4.5GHz though you could see a good elevation of your choke point. (if you could get it for say 50-75 then maybe) the performance difference with out overclocking is minimal to unnoticeable. If you could pull of a GHz OC on a processor you could see some nice CPU performance gains when your bottle necking there, however i wouldn't personally go for the 3770K for 180 USD. I'd just like to upgrade to something significantly better. otherwise i would just save your money for a full CPU+MoBo+RAM upgrade.Ĭould you infer on the K series thing? I made a typo and meant to put i5-3770k, which is about $180 online lowest, but what benefits would I really get from the thing in comparison to the regular 3770? I can't overclock due to my 500w PSU, so would getting the 3770k be beneficial at all? My card just came in and I also got a copy of the new Hitman with it as well, but the minimum req for the game is an i5-2500 and I have to cap the game at 30 fps because of it, so now my goal is to be able to run Hitman.
now if you bumped up to a K series and overclocked it i could see value there. The i5-3770 is faster than a i5-2400 but the difference isn't significant enough to warrant spending money on it IMO unless you got it for dirt cheep.
