You have the budget for MSI H97 Gaming 3 MB and i5 4690/i7 4790. Decide based on your needs—MSI H97 offers better performance for gaming, while the GTX 750 is lighter but may struggle with modern titles. Your current GTX 750 is fine now, but consider upgrading to 960 if you plan to stream more intense games like League of Legends. The i7 4790 gives more power than the i5, so it’s a good choice if you want smoother performance. Just pick what fits your budget and future plans!
The 4690(k) is sufficient. It would be wiser to allocate the saved funds toward a GPU.
Obtain an i5 processor and an improved graphics card. A superior GPU will make a much bigger difference than an i7 would.
I would choose an i5 processor and upgrade the graphics card for the game.
We haven't received the benchmarks yet. Keep an eye on the port reports for updates.
He doesn't require an i7 to play League of Legends at all. It would be a huge waste of money. @OP, you won’t face any problems with a mid-range i5, such as a 4440 or 4460. They offer strong performance and are affordable right out of the box. GTA is backed by NVIDIA, and if things progress like they have in the past, it will be heavily optimized for NVIDIA cards at launch, only gaining better AMD support after several updates. Recently, someone benchmarked another game sponsored by NVIDIA and found that the 660ti and 290 achieved the same FPS thanks to superior optimization—definitely impressive. Still, choose the most powerful card you can afford within your budget; you’ll be fine.
