You fucking liar.

That's why whenever you buy a graphic card or a processor, you get the best shit available on the market. Otherwise you're stuck having to upgrade every 2 years, and at the time of the upgrade, you still only have something that's middle-tier.

The newer i5's aren't much better.

This is the point of my topic.

Do not buy i5s.

tfw i literally just bought an i5 6600K

>>385453847

Yeah you're pretty much fucked for any game that uses more than 4 cores...which is most games now after battlefield 1.

>buying EA games
Off yourself

Im still running a mildy oced fx-6300. Never upgrade unless you have to. Always install an aftermarket cooler and OC if you need more performance, unless you like to waste money of course

>every 2 years
Lmao I've had 4690k and 7870 for god knows how long
Upgraded to a 480 last year
Not everyone wants to play the latest AAA trash like OP on max settings

>Never upgrade unless you have to

sounds cute but I'm still pretty pissed my cpu is bottlenecking me after only 2 years.

When I bought it everyone said the i5 4690k was all you really need for gaming.

>tfw my R7 1700 and other stuff is being shipped to me right now
feels good but a bit anxious

>>385454390

That's a good buy.

I don't like amd because I'm a bit of an intel fanboy, but the r7 1700 is fantastic.

>>385454269
Overclock it and shut up

>>385454565
I was gunning for an Intel chip myself but after doing some research I realized that AMD is back, baby, at least in the CPU market. I'm still aiming at an Nvidia GPU, though - what I've seen of Vega so far isn't exactly mind-blowing.

>>385454659

My 4690k is overclocked.

It performs badly in bf1 because it only has 4 cores.

>>385454859
Overlock it more, more cores wont make a game coded like shit run better
