Scorbing Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 I have a Core i5-750 and want to upgrade my processor (I'll need a new motherboard, but that's fine). I only think it's worth upgrading if the performance is doubled. I wish to spend as little money as possible. Can someone help me find some of the lowest cost CPUs that doubles the performance compared to my Core i5-750? I will keep looking myself also, and edit this post if I find anything. EDIT: Found this. My CPU scores 4,373. Looks like I'm looking for something like: Intel Core i7-2700K (?246) Intel Core i7-3770T (?238) Intel Core i7-3770S (?234) AMD FX-8350 Eight-Core (?156) Intel Core i7-3820 (?248) Intel Core i7-3770K (?249) Intel Xeon E3-1240 V2 (?202) Intel Core i7-3770 (?234) They're all more expensive than I hoped, so I shall not be upgrading at this time. AMD FX 8150 8 Core CPU - $169.00 - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819103960 I have it and that thing is a monster for the price.

Jason S. Global Moderator Posted January 4, 2013 Global Moderator Share Posted January 4, 2013 well, im an Intel guy. I'd suggest you just buy the Intel Core i7-3770K and get it over with. probably not the cheapest, but i find cutting corners in computers and technology is never satisfactory.
