Hey there! It sounds like you're experiencing some performance issues with your current setup. Upgrading from an i5-4690 to a newer i7 could definitely help, especially if you're aiming for higher frame rates. The prices around $100 CAD seem reasonable for a solid upgrade in this situation.

It would be wise to consider selling your components and purchasing a newer setup. The i3 12100f is priced around $110, which is roughly $150, and it significantly outperforms the 4790 in speed.

Absolutely, you're likely correct. It's better to invest in newer options rather than sticking with outdated gear that's about eight years old. Thanks!

If you manage to secure the 4790 (or better the 4790k for a boost of 100MHz) at a good price, it could be worth about a 20% performance increase. However, if the new platform fits your budget, going with it might be the smarter choice.
