Will it be ideal to at least upgrade the RAM? Still using 2x 4GB sticks atm

Now that the 9700k has been released, is it practical to upgrade now? I was going to wait for the prices to be lower before I pull the trigger. Or is it more ethical to just switch to the 8700k? Im currently running a GTX 1070 that will probably be switched to 1080TI later this year. Monitors at...

Wanted to try out the streaming and recording world but not sure what's the recommended settings for OBS Studio. CPU:4790k (stock) RAM: 8GB GPU: EVGA GTX 1070 SC SSD: 1x Samsung EVO 250 GB (oS), 1x Samsung PRO 250 (games), 2TB WD Black Monitor: ASUS VQ248QE Upload Speed: 11mbs Download Speed...

If I were to purchase the 8700k, I will most likely not be picking up another CPU for 3-4 years. Maybe its a good investment then sell my 4790k.

Title says all. Been waiting for the new Coffee Lake Intel CPUs all summer. I know I will need to upgrade my entire rig (MB/RAM/Cooler/PSU) but I will be keeping my SSDs/HDDs and my GTX 1070. Is it worth the upgrade now or wait a bit (hoping for black friday?) I mainly be gaming and recording...

So, I'd have to wipe the hard drive using my current PC (current parts) and then reinstall windows with my old parts. After reinstalling windows, just build the new parts and then slap on that SSD with OS and run it?

I was planning on doing a major PC hardware upgrade, but I wanted to know ahead of time if I can use my old SSDs/HDD with the new MB/CPU. I am running 2 SSDs, one of them has the OS in it and other is for gaming and other files. I do believe my windows key is in my Microsoft account, but not...

I start University next week and had been eyeing on a MacBook Pro 13" 2017 version. I do not know anything about Macs so I was looking to see what is best for me. I'm not any video editing freak, but will sometimes edit some videos for my own personal interest. The base models are kind of pricey...

I've recently just got the GTX 1070 last November and my monitor is 144hz so probably not going to upgrade either for some time. I think I'll wait for the Coffee Lake, which I did not know was coming out soon. Thanks for all the wonder and informational replies!

So like titles saids, I have a 4790k stock never OC'd and I've had it probably Nov. 2014. The computer part store in my city is having a sale on i7 7700k + Gigabyte Z270x Gaming 5 MB for $464 solid. I was wondering if it would be a good idea to upgrade. But then I would have to upgrade my RAM...

Perhaps I should just OC Cpu and Gpu. Is there a guide on how to do it? I have a MB that not a lot of people uses lol.
