My son wants to update his Haswell generation gaming rig. But, but as with many 17 year olds, he's short on cash.

He's noticed how much computing power (at least on synthetic benchmarks) you can get for cheap with older generation dual CPU setups. But, I'm guessing that most "A List" games still can't take advantage of dual CPUs?

Most Google results I found were from 5 or so years ago, & back then pretty much nothing took advantage of dual CPUs (short of virtualization). 5 years is ancient history in the gaming world though, and the more recent results seem to be very anecdotal and inconclusive.

So, I thought I'd ask if anyone here has some definitive knowledge? He plays a lot of different titles, mostly on Steam. But, League of Legends and Monster Hunter World also get a lot of play.

Thanks!
