Current setup, kind of outdated - was built in 2009, except graphics card and a chassis:chassis: Corsair 650Dmobo: Asus P5Q DeluxeCPU: Intel Core2Quad 3GHz @4GHzgfx: Radeon R9 290psu: Corsair 750Wmem: 16GBI want to keep chassis and gfx card for a new setup. Looking for a CPU recommendation (no AMD please) which will be better from current one and will allow future upgrade. Computer mainly used for work (web dev, Photoshop, some android coding with unity), casual gaming (Battlefield 4, Battlefront Star Wars (new one), Evolve, etc), music (mp3, Spotify - mostly when doing my work) and movies watching from streaming services (HBO Go, STARZ Go, Plex, Netflix, etc)Price range something around $250
CPU recommendation for new casual gaming setup
gaming;processor
I reccomend the Intel i5 4690k.It costs $240 USD, and is significantly more powerful than your current CPU. It has 4 cores, (no hyperthreading) with a base-clock of 3.5 GHz, but is unlocked and could be OC'ed to 3.9 GHz. 6 MB of cache, and the TDP is 88W (which I believe is actually lower than your current CPU).It meets or exceeds the system requirements of every game you listed.BF4 recommends any quadcore intel CPU.Star Wars battlefront recommends an i5 6600, which has nearly identical specs, except for the lower base clock speed.Evolve recommends an i7 920, which has twice the number of threads, but a significantly lower clock speed (2.66 GHz). I'm not sure how well Evolve utilizes the extra multi-threading capabilities, but it's probably safe to assume it will run well. (At least, as well as it can run. It's still very buggy from what I have heard).Given that all of these games are far more CPU-intensive, it should also easily handle Photoshop, unity, music streaming, movies and browsing.
