Hey guys! So I went to a convention and there was a Gigabyte and Cooler Master booth and they had great prices and giveaways.
My old rig was (prebuilt crappy Alienware x51):
i5-2320
2x2GB 1333mhz RAM
GT 545
1TB Seagate Barracuda
Dell mini-ITX motherboard
240w PSU
So I bought RAM, case, SSD, PSU, CPU cooler, and I was also given a FREE GRAPHICS CARD, so now my rig is:
CPU: i5-2320 (reused)
CPU Cooler: Cooler Master X6
Motherboard: Gigabyte Z77X-D3H
RAM: 2x4GB Kingston 1600mhz
GPU: Gigabyte GTX 760 2GB (Got for free)
PSU: 600w Cooler Master Silent Pro Modular
Case: Cooler Master Storm Stryker
SSD: 120GB Kingston SSD
HDD: 1TB Seagate Barracuda (reused)
Anyways, I'm not here for you guys to critique the build or anything (prices are different, not online, not on any site, don't judge, I'm happy with what I've got so far)
What I'm here for is the CPU. atm I've got a slightly overclocked i5-2320 @ 3.2GHz. If I upgrade this to a 3570k and overclock to 4.0GHz, how much of a difference will it make for Battlefield 3, Call of Duty Black Ops 2, Call of Duty Ghosts, and Battlefield 4?
Is it worth the upgrade?

Does the i5-2320 even bottleneck games?
