Upgrade recommendations

[BRAVO51]

u guys think my stock q8300 can last me the nxt 3 years?
if not recommend what i should get (cpu,mobo, ram, and case)
no budget as of now

Most processors last about 10-15 years at stock. 8300 was released in what? 08?, you are probably good for a while. 2018 at least would be my guess.

Last next 3 years, yes. Last next 3 years as a gaming processor; depends on the games.

thxs for ur opinions, help

 

[reflex99]

wait, what are we talking about here?

Physical lifespan of the processor, or useful life?

if we are talking about useful live, the end is probably near. Most C2Qs are beginning to show their age. Lack of L3, and the inefficiencies of the independent architecture are starting to catch up with Intel. So yea, soon might be time to upgrade.
