Looking to upgrade your Intel i5 4th gen for gaming. You're considering a processor swap but want options beyond the current setup. No need to change the motherboard—just focus on the CPU. Let me know if you'd like recommendations!

Ensure the motherboard is replaced first; otherwise, you won’t get any newer processors. The top processor compatible with your board is the i7-4790, specifically the K model for z87 or z97 boards.

I'm still figuring out which MSI motherboard you have and what details to share later.
