Hey everyone.
I am hoping to see some deals on CPU's this coming greed fest (black Friday) and possibly taking advantage. My current specs are as follows:
i-5 3570k
GTX 970 SC 2.0 ACX
Patriot Viper 8 GB Ram (2x4; 16 GB Total)
ASRock z75 Pro3 LGA 1155
CORSAIR tx650 650w
Everything but the GPU was purchased late 2012 if I recall correctly. Despite CPU not playing a big a role as a GPU, I was surprised to find that BF1 requires a i5-6600k as a minimum requirement. Still plays but I do get hiccups and takes much longer to load.
Currently have my eyes on the i7 6700 and going to check to see if I can spot a deal. My question would be if I need to change my motherboard or if you guys have a better suggestion for a CPU.
Intel Core i7-6700 8M Skylake Quad-Core 3.4 GHz LGA 1151 65W BX80662I76700 Desktop Processor Intel HD Graphics 530 - Newegg.com
Thanks for any input.
