my pc currently has an i5 4460,although this processor was quite capable back in the day,its begun to show its age and often performs rather slowly in cpu demanding games like AC origins etc.
so i would like to upgrade my pc and have a budget of upto 25k.I was wondering what could i possibly get within this meagre price range.
I have decided on the foll. parts primarily:
10400 or 10400F(the latter being the preferred option,but its currently not available at any of the local hardware stores here).
Gigabyte h410 ms2 mobo
8+8 GB DDR4.
I will be reusing my 1060 6gb,H410R cooler and TXM 550 PSU.
Some questions that i have are:
Will it be a good idea to pair an i5 with a cheap h410 mobo?Can it cause any issues in the long run such as cpu throttling/overheating etc as it has no heatsink on its VRMs?
As this mobo has just 2 ram slots and i plan on using 2 DIMMs,will installing an aftermarket cooler like H410R obstruct any of the memory slots and prevent me from using both of them?
some alternate mobos are:
GB B460M gaming(has a similar layout as that of the above mentioned h410 mobo)
GB b460M d3h
But the problem is both of them are a lot more expensive,and i dont really want to spend more than 25k this time around.
