You'll likely feel almost no change if you're mainly using Overwatch. The 11500 is powerful enough, and the game reaches around 200fps.
Currently I have a 144hz 1080p setup, and I plan to move to at least 240hz soon. However, it doesn’t seem obvious that higher frame rates than 300fps will make a difference; the game just feels noticeably smoother. Probably a matter of opinion.
I wouldn't settle for 350e just for a small gain, as you mentioned. Your GPU also isn't great. Even with a better chip like a 3070 or 3080, I wouldn't pay that much.
Andus, could you clarify whether your BIOS needed flashing for the Asus H570 before installing the i5 11500? Did it install correctly out of the box? I’m trying to avoid any issues and need confirmation on that.
Hello, thank you for reaching out. I'm sorry for the delayed response; I haven't been online recently. The setup was simple and effective right away.
