Which processor is better to choose?

Question

Iron

Good morning!
Comrades, what is the best processor to buy for socket 1155 LGA?
The mother has an intel H67 chipset
. Actually, I want to give the computer to my nephew, but the processor is not ok.
Now it's Core i5-2300 2.80 Hz, DDR3 16gb, HDD 2tb, GF 680GTX.
It is natural for him for the most part for games.

Answer 1

On the screen of the name of what makes at least some sense for the purchase. The red frame highlights positions that will give a tangible increase.
But in general, you can play quite comfortably on what you have, if you do not chase ultra-graphics.

Answer 2

IMHO, in games the difference between the i5-2300 and the top i7 will be no more than 10-15%, no more than the difference in the frequency of 3GHz against a maximum of 3.5-3.6GHz.
Maybe you play on the built-in map, instead of 680? Or video drivers are crooked?
I support the opinion that there is no point in another processor, especially on the intel H67, where all these 3770K
cannot be overclocked.

Answer 3

I see no obvious reason to change the processor, it should be enough for most games anyway.
