Upgrade for my old PC

[Zangetsu]

If OP is inclined more to intel then lets give him a better intel option.

If OP is inclined more to intel then lets give him a better intel option.

So that he can run out of budget??

 

[ASHISH65]

if op can afford i5 4670k then he ​should go with it ,otherwise tight on budget fx 8350 is choice

i5-4670k fails miserably in impressing me..
AnandTech | Bench - CPU

Coz
1.costly
2.requires a mobo that is equally costly
3.requires a generous cooling solution.

IMO op should save more in this department & get a better GFX

Intel Core i5-3570K advantages

-This cpu has unlocked clock multiplier. The CPU can be freely overclocked on most motherboards if greater performance is required.

-The Intel i5-3570K is 8% more energy efficient.

Intel Core i5-4670K advantages

-Single-threaded performance of the CPU is higher.

-The Intel Core i5-4670K is 6% faster in multi-threaded programs.

-Memory performance of the processor is better.

-The i5-4670K includes AVX2 instructions, introduced in the recent past. These extensions are not broadly used by applications yet, but their support should improve in future apps.

-FMA3 instructions are enabled on this CPU. This technology is only available on AMD cpu, for that reason it may not get broad support from software vendors.

-The 4670K is less energy efficient under load, because Intel integrated VRM on the chip. It has lower idle power, but the comparison is for the maximum power consumption. Total system power consumption could be the same, though, but I can't confirm it.

- you can upgrade to Next gen cpu Broadwell

its on op which to get ivy or haswell

 

[Chaitanya]

well if op wants intel only i5-3570k is more sensible .. Now don't say anything about future upgrades

 

[truegenius]

since op is using hd5770 so any of these is more than enough (even ivy too) and these are far better than e4500
and op's usages are not that cpu heavy
though i am inclined towards i5 because of its ipc ,tdp and current performance advantage

hey thanks for the detailed info ...well also read on the internet that some had problems fitting the ripjaws near the cooler and some said they managed to fit it as they are not too tall...is that so??

in dual fan setup hyper 212 evo may have ram clearance problem, you can solve it buy sliding the fan up which is near ram
cilius have ripjawsx and hyper 212 plus, he can tell this more precisely

ripjawsx height 40mm (lower heatsink)
sniper height 42mm

thanks guys for your inputs on processor... since I am more inclined towards Intel and also everywhere on the internet it say its better than AMD for gaming but not so better in the multi threaded programs than AMD....I will go for Intel Haswell since its just 1.5k more than i5 3570k(why not get a new one ??).

So here's the updated build

New Build

Processor = Intel core i5 4670k 16.5k
Mobo = ?
RAM = RipjawsX(8GB CL9) @ 4k
HDD = WD 1 tb @ 4.5k
CPU Cooler = CM Hyper 212 evo @ 2.2k
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Total = 27.2k

Now what remains is the mobo??? So guys pls put in ur inputs fast as I'll be going tomorrow for the purchase...

 

[Chaitanya]

ASUS Z87-K @ 12k

That MobO

 

[abhidev]

how is Asus Gryphone ???

 

[truegenius]

here are other options to consider
asrock z87 extreme 3 or z87M extreme 4 or z87 extreme 4 (non-asus options though)

thanx man...but I would prefer ASUS mobos only as they have better build quality IMO Can you suggest ASUS mobos....

 

[Cilus]

Asus Gryphone should be your choice.

 

[Chaitanya]

Asus Gryphone should be your choice.

But it will overshoot budget..

 

[abhidev]

But it will overshoot budget..

yes I figured that the total goes to arnd 42k

I checked the online prices and here what they are

New Build

Processor = Intel core i5 4670k 16.5k --> Online(17.1k)
Mobo = Asus Gryphone(14.3) OR Asus Z87-k(11.4k)
RAM = RipjawsX(8GB CL9) @ 4k --> Online(5k)
HDD = WD 1 tb @ 4.5k --> Online(5k)
CPU Cooler = CM Hyper 212 evo @ 2.2k --> Online(2.5k)
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Total = 27.2k

About 95 people out of 100 never really upgrade the processor. Its the Graphic card that people upgrade after a point of time. So its useless brain whacking over a processor.

Get a good processor and any good one in production now will see you past 3 to 5 years atleast if not more. I still know PRO people doing graphics with 790 Ultra, Q9650 but latest Quadros!!!

True that but when you think of investing in something you always think of long term and all the other possibilities even when you know you are not actually going to do any of that but you think "it's good to have" ;P

Well guys, just got back from Lamington road and got the following parts...searched a lot and none of them had the 4th gen i5 except Primeabgb but unfortunately didn't get the desired motherboard viz Asus Gryphone or Asus Z87 A

So here's the new build

New Build

Processor = Intel core i5 4670k 16500
Mobo = Asus Gryphone(14.3) OR Asus Z87-A(13.6k) - Pending
RAM = RipjawsX(2x4GB CL9 1600Mhz) @ 5000
HDD = WD 1 tb Black 5350
CPU Cooler = CM Hyper 212 evo @ 2175
Tp link USB WiFi adapter at 600
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Total = 29625

very expensive. 1Tb HDD is available for 3800 even on flipkart. didn't see its WD Black.
