[vutaikt]

Hi there

My current system specifications are:
CPU : Intel Core i3 2120 3.30 Ghz
Motherboard : Gigabyte H61M-D2H
GPU : MSI R6850 PE OC Edition (1GB GDDR5)
RAM : 8 GB Corsair 1333mhz DDR3
HDD : 250 GB +160 GB 7200 RPM

I wan't to upgrade my CPU, i 5 3330 fits my budget also i don't have to change my motherboard if i go with this CPU. I am a Gamer, The games i will be playing (Mostly) are Battlefield 4 Multiplayer , G.T.A V (when it comes to PC). I am satisfied with my current rig, can play Battlefield 3 Multiplayer on 64 Player server on Ultra settings at 60 FPS average on 1600 X 900 screen.

I wanna know is i 5 3330 is really a good and noticeable upgrade in terms of gaming over i3 2120 ?
any i 5 3330 user here, please post your experience with this processor .

GTA V might be a different story though.

You can't predict how games are optimized plus they are mostly gpu dependent (there are exceptions ofc).
Go for it if the cost of the upgrade isn't much, a quad core will only be better in the long run.

While playing any multiplayer game try watching your task manager see how much CPU is being used.I think the CPU won't be bottlenecking but give it a check.
