I don't really know much about i5s (I've always gotten i7s), but CPU tech hasn't really improved drastically in the last few years, so I'd say @daze23 is probably right. Most games are GPU heavy anyway, so getting a better GPU might be the way to go

ya my 2500k runs great and it is overclocked to its maximum at 4500. it runs awesome, but i want to run hackintosh but my mobo (asus z68 v3-gen3) is not compatible.
i don't really game on mine tbh, and my graphics card is on the lower end. it is a radeon r7 2xx series.
I just want to run mac on mine without having to buy an imac. lol.
if you need it for the hackintosh, go for it. $320 is a good deal, but remember you'll also need some new memory (DDR4)
I built a hackintosh a few years ago. Make sure your mobo is compatible. Also finding the drivers is a big pain in the ass. Hopefully it's easier now, but when I did it's few years back, finding the right drivers too forever (I know Macs don't call them drivers, but I can't remember what they're called right now, but I'm sure you know what I mean). It was kinda a hassle, but a fun project in the end. When you finally have all the drivers and everything is working great, it's
I finally upgraded my SSD drive to a bigger one(PNY CS2211 240 GB) from the OCZ 60GB one I had. I was running on 1GB or less of free space for like a year

I just spent like $100 on VR games that are on sale.
I have almost every VR game that has been released (on the OR and VIVE)
My new apartment will be VR ready in the living room. I'm gonna mount the sensors finally (instead of putting them on boxes)

I dusted off the old desktop cause I have a ps4 and want to play fallout with mods.. I have a amd 6core about 8gbs of ram and just bought the gtx 960, should I be good playing on max settings? And what's the best mods to get?Nope, the fukking bridges are still weeks away according to nvidia.
My damn 1080s are still sealed in their boxes

Amazon is always a good source, trend micro center if you have one nearby. What I have noticed is you don't need the latest and greatest video card if you just use it for media and unless you have to play on max resolution you don't need to spend too much on that either. A 2gb card should be enough

All I gotta say is: fukk Texas. Downtown Houston is alright, but the rest of the state is full of redneck, ultra conservative a$$holes (minus Austin). Here's hoping the DC area is better
And I have the option for Verizon FIOS where I'll live.
Comcast
The grass isn't always greener bruh. Verizon ain't much different from Comcast as far as the Internet goes. Their customer service is
tho. I always have problems with Verizon routers unless you are going to hardwire everything their shyt is garbage for wireless
Nah, with a 960 at 1080p, you're looking at medium I'd say. I'd return the 960 and get a 1060 instead. That would get you closer. I don't know much about fallout 4 mods, but @duckbutta does. He put a list of the good mods in the official Fallout 4 thread a few days ago.

I ordered from new egg, will they let me exchange?
'I'm not entirely sure, but if it's unopened, they probably should. The 1060 is much better than the 960, so it's worth at least a try
Running rx 480 crossfire and its not bad but Tomb Raider crashes on Dx12.
