Help understanding which CPU to upgrade to.
Hiya
I'm a little worried my CPU (prebuild with i5-13400F) is going to fall under minimum recommended requirements for game this year. As I see some of them saying they require 8 core cpus, and a quick google says the 13400F has 6 performance cores.
I'd like to take a shot at replacing it, as I don't really have the option of sending my PC back to the supplier to upgrade it. I've previously replaced the GPU, which I know is a lot easier, by following videos and taking my time.
Anywho, any suggestions for a cost effective upgrade that fits the same slot (1700?), has integrated cooling, and has 8 cores min?
I currently have:
- Motherboard: MSI PRO H610M-B DDR4 Intel Socket 1700
- CPU: Intel Core i5-13400F
- PSU: Cougar VTE X2 750 80 PLUS Bronze
- GPU: Asus Geforce RTX 4070
Thanks in advance for anyone with opinions.
