4690k in upcoming years

[Suspect_0]

Hi folks,

I'm starting to prepare for introducing some changes in my build.

Right now I'm running on:

- 4690k OCd to 4.60 GHz with really nice temps on 1.25 V

- GTX 1060 6 GB OCd to 1695 MHz on GPU clock and 2252 on Memory

- DDR 3 1333 MHz OCd to 1600 MHz (runs on 1800 well too)

The question is if 4690k will serve me well for next 1 to 2 years?
I wanted to upgrade it to 8600k but then I realized that maybe simply buying better GPU like 1070 would be a better option to spend my money.
I'm playing only 1080p/60 FPS (mostly AAAs) and the goal is to get the best value for the money.

What do you think about this?
Buying new CPU+mobo+ram would be a better option for the upcoming time? Or maybe 1070 is the way I should be looking at?

Thanks!

Neither. Wait for the new releases from both Intel and nvidia (or amd). They should be around the corner.

That's a great idea but still, even then I'll have the same dilemma what would be the better option

start with newer gpu. your older cpu still has some life left in it and should be fine with the newer gpu. i would wait for the new pci 4x or 5x chipset that dropping in the next 12-24 months. have more gpu bandwith then the older pci 3x mb.

You don't need to upgrade your CPU really, unless you are doing high intensive work loadsm, then the cpu does struggle, but for gaming, I am sure you have 1-2 years left so only a GPU upgrade will benefit you up to a point.

As for when the new GPU's come out, I am sure it won't be until October.

Hmm so it looks like this was a good place to leave my question

I'm worrying that games are more and more CPU demanding and from my observations in newest titles it's the processor that's taking the biggest hit.

If it's from f**ked up optimization that's another case.

But, other thing that created some questions in my head is that I'll need to replace not only 1 part but 3/4 of my rig - CPU, mobo and ram...

And yeah, I only use my pc for single player gaming. No streaming, no complicated video editing. Just enjoying new titles
