Safe bet is an i5 model, though I’d look into some Xeon E3 options since they tend to be affordable. Models like the E3-1240 and higher offer four cores with eight threads.

The I7 4770 should perform well.

Yes, you're referring to the Intel Core i5 processor from the fourth generation.

It could really change things. In my country, you can buy one for fifty dollars. Your mobile is a Gigabyte G-series model, and I’m wondering if it would work. Plus, do you think your GPU is sufficient?

Typically, higher positions in the compatibility list mean better support, though the 'T' series seems to be less recommended. The 4790 or 4790K models would perform well, but finding them at a reasonable cost is uncertain.

It's a great offer for $50. It makes a big difference based on what games you play. Higher clock speed, extra cache, double cores and threads will boost performance. Of course, it depends on the specific games.

Yes, your GPU can handle it without affecting your CPU performance.

It really depends on your activities and the games you enjoy. That's a solid combination overall.

it becomes quite an issue because choosing the right parts depends on performance needs. ... if you get an i5 for $50 and an i7 for $50, you’d pick the i5 if the graphics card isn’t powerful enough and causes a bottleneck. That’s unusual—most people would go with the more capable model. The i7 4770 at half price is a significant investment, which makes sense given its price.
