This is my old computer I am building new one but I feel like I still can upgrade this desktop to the maximum potential. Right now it has i5 3470 GPU GTX 660 Ti
Power 700 W

So I am looking to buy new mainboard Ram SSD (if still capable) if not then HDD And new CPU

So what do you guys think which highest intel that I can go up to?

    i7-4790k is the highest drop-in replacement for the board after you do a bios update first.

    That being said, it’s a pure waste of money. Don’t do it.

    Also, to answer the question from the title: The highest Intel CPU that can pair with a GTX 660 Ti is the Intel Xeon Platinum 8480+. And on the mainstream-desktop it would be the Intel Core i9-14900K.
