I'm outta my league with hardware these days Sad

Well He should find his answer as why he needs to upgrade.
Find at least one game that he really adores and if it runs crap and he wants to run it at max ultra gfx and has the money then upgrade.

What does he want to hear?

If he doesnt know if he needs to upgrade, why should he upgrade?


"Enlightenment is man's emergence from his self-imposed nonage. Nonage is the inability to use one's own understanding without another's guidance. This nonage is self-imposed if its cause lies not in lack of understanding but in indecision and lack of courage to use one's own mind without another's guidance. Dare to know! (Sapere aude.) "Have the courage to use your own understanding," is therefore the motto of the enlightenment."

I don't know how well the 5820K overclocks but a 0.5GHz overclock should give it a little boost. I don't see a point in upgrading either.

My suggestion for upgrading would be if you're stuck on Sandy/Ivy Bridge (or older) and/or need more cores.
