definitely depends on how much money you want to spend and what games you want to play
tf2 is mostly cpu bottlenecked but a quad i5 should do fine and unless you have tons of money to throw away i see no real point in buying a new cpu

As said in #3 depends on what games you'll be playing. If you're looking to play more gpu heavy games then upgrading it will definetly be the way to go. Also on a side note if you give an estimated budget people will be able to make suggestions on what cpu/card you should get.

Get a aftermarket cooler for the 4690k and OC it. Wait for Polaris our Vega for a graphics card.

should've dumped the question in the PC build thread, where the great Setsul is present to help lost souls

I'm actually everywhere.

Bumping this to check if OP's problem has been solved.

#1
Do you want/need more performance? If no, don't upgrade.

If yes, what program/game do you want to perform better?

See #4

#6
Same as #1.

#10

What do you play?

If TF2 replace your current AMD CPU with an intel CPU with a high clock rate. (and motherboard, of course)

^this

If you want more FPS in TF2 get a 4690k/4790k/6600k/6700k/5820K and OC it.

Just about everything else will be GPU bound. Your graphics card isnt bad enough that i can justify not waiting for next gen. New shit is expected end of next month.

I like how I reiterated the same question as #4, yet #10 still manages to ignore it.

How does he expect us to figure out what he needs? Sure I could play the guessing game, but I shouldn't have to so I won't.

Apologies, I was in a rush to go to work and I was just quickly skimming the thread.

I highly recommend a GPU. Even though you have a 4th gen i5, there will be very little improvements if you get a better CPU. For a GPU to get, I recommend a 4GB EVGA GTX 960, but if you can wait I recommend waiting for the next series of Nvidia GPU's that will release very soon here.
