What is a good replacement CPU for a
i5 760 2.8 ghz
running this pc with 16gb ram
geforce 970
im guessing its my old ass cpu thats slowing me down though.
OC'ing it would be something to try first before coming to the conclusion that you need to upgrade tbqh

Fuck you.

i7 5960x

I was asking an honest question not even trolling here.
>>53350074
thanks i'll look into it
>>53350045
I could but im not sure it would make a huge difference?
>>53350074
Fuck you.
>>53350021
nothing much, you're better upgrading your mobo ram and cpu then investing in a dead socket motherboard
>>53350129
yeah i'll probably get new motherboard and cpu
just looking for decent performance cost wise going from that cpu to somthing else
>>53350229
holy fuck calm down neckbeard you're either some jack ass from /b/ who got lost or a 12 yr old kid. If you dont like what you see don't reply others who give a shit will reply.

I had my i5 760 @ 4.2ghz on air. OC before you worry about replacements.
>>53350021
Buy a 2nd hand i7 860 and OC it. You should be able to use the same mainboard.

Alright thx guys maybe i'll give it a go OCing it
if not new motherboard and cpu which i'll need for VR anyways
FX6300 is a good bet
works fine for me tbqh
y update?
if you want to, go either 2500k for cheap or 6600k for expensive, but be sure to rig it with some good air cooling (or water cooling if you like overspending)

>AMD
If you want a cheap option get a i5 4690k or something
>>53352559
Main reason is the FPS drop when running games and what not lets say Rust for example.
with 8 gbs of ram ssd drive nvidia 970 im getting 15-30 fps maybe? with the i5 760.. Somthing about that doesnt seem right.
So just trying to keep things on par with other parts for apps/games etc
>>53352583
lol well im in canada so mark up of electronics is about double of what ppl pay in USA so an i5/i7 cpu that is newer is 600$ or more in most cases. But yeah definatley want intel not amd might go with a xeon if I can find a good price for one.
>>53350021
Depends on how much you want to spend, but first I'd suggest OCing to see if it's good enough. Those CPUs were good overclockers, you could probably get close to ~4GHz.
As for upgrades, I'd say one of these, depending on how much you want to spend:
i5 4690K + Z97
i7 4790K + Z97
5820K + X99 + new DDR4 RAM
(or more expensive Haswell-E)

Not the same CPU but you get the idea.
