You're facing a tough situation with the purchase. The device failed quickly, and you didn't receive a refund. Looking ahead to 2016, an I5 4440 with four cores would still be a solid choice for performance, though it might not match the latest features. Consider whether you need the newest specs or if this model fits your current requirements.
It's likely the i5-4440 remains a solid choice in 2016. Many users still rely on the Core i5-2500K from 2011. I'm running a 5-year-old Core i5-750. Hope this isn't too disappointing from your experience.
It's true, I was really emotional about how difficult it is to earn a living here. But life keeps going...
