Howdy all -- I'm finally upgrading to a mini-itx build. I have an Intel Core i5-3570K Ivy Bridge Quad-Core 3.4GHz (3.8GHz Turbo) LGA 1155.
I need to buy a new MOBO to fit into the mini-tix case, so I was also thinking of upgrading my CPU. I like my CPU but the mini-itx LGA 1155 MOBO are outrageously expensive because they seem to be out of stock.
Question: Will I notice a big improvement if I go to a 1150 i7 (i.e. worth the new mobo and cpu cost) or shall I hang onto mine until Skylake comes out and buy a used mobo on ebay if I can find one?
Thank ye kindly...
