wait it out......or you could drop a xeon hexa core ranging from $80-200 depending on how much overclock you desire.....it wold pretty much match or beat a 4770k in a lot of tasks depending on how many threads the game/app use
Yeah but will it overclock like the 920 D0? I also was looking into a new cpu on ebay last week. I have one of those 920 D0's overclocked to 3.8ghz running in my old X58 Evga 759 Classified. Have a new Asus 290X OC in there as a single card setup. Doesn't make sense to crossfire or SLI on that old 2.0 pci express bus at 8x limited channels. A fast card and a single 16X slot should be enough. Most games play pretty well though Kourosh as Tweakguides said his old 920 X58 system stuttered like crazy trying to play Watchdogs. I just got the game and will find out how it feels on mine. I still put money into it though. Got the Dominator 12gb (3x4gb) 2000mhz kit by Corsair last week. Got it up to 1800 mhz so far (tempted to go higher but don't want to push my luck). Does 8-8-8-24 stable at 1600mhz. Ever since I was a kid I use to love to upgrade and test the limits of older systems. Its more fun than buying a new setup including motherboard and new technology. Anyhow heres a tip.. Upgrade your OS to Win 8.1 and you'll get 6% improvement in FPS on average. Enjoy!
