Choose between an i5-7600K or i7-3820 based on your Unreal Engine 4 development needs.
The scenario involves your sister working on Unreal Engine 4 development. Your setup includes a high-end desktop with a 7600k processor and a full ATX motherboard, powered by a 750W PSU. You have a smaller PC running an i7-3820 with a GTX 1060, which is struggling with lag and bottlenecked performance. She’s considering upgrading her GPU but you’re curious about swapping her PC for yours. Your current setup uses a Mini ITX machine with limited space due to the raid card and outdated ports. You’re evaluating whether your system could support her 3070 or higher GPU while keeping her existing components, especially since she needs more power than her current CPU can handle.
She should continue using the 3820 setup—it performs much better than the 7600k for game development thanks to more threads. A 650W power supply is still insufficient for a 3070ti, and the lowest acceptable one for a 3070 is higher. What kind of 650W PSU does she need?
