Are these good parts to upgrade to??

[VaticanCity]

I'm going from my current build of:
5-3570k, Asus P8Z77-VLK Mobo, 256gb ssd,2tb (1.8tb really) regular 7,200rpm hard drive, Msi GTX
1080 Ti 11gb, 8GB 2x4 Corsair ddr-1600 DIMM CL RAM, and a
750w Silencer Mk power supply.

to/ was thinking? a i7-7700k, MSI Z270 Gaming M3 Mobo, and 16gb 2 x 8gb DDR4-2400 Crucial/Ballistix Ram

anyone have any thoughts or perhaps better suggestions? or is Intel releasing new cpu's soon and i should wait till a 17-7700k goes on sale ? Thanks for everyones time!

gaming? productivity? screen size?

gaming? productivity? screen size?

Hey thanks for the fast reply amigo! Mostly gaming @ Forgot my monitor haha I just upgraded to a Dell S2716DG 27'' Monitor. running at 2560 x 1440p @144mhz or w/e from a BenQ at 1080i.

You'll see a difference, but how much depends on the game. You'll get a small performance boost with the 7700k at stock values since its IPC is higher than the 3570k, unless you've got that i5 up around 4.6-4.8GHz, where it'll balance out some. Then there's multiple threaded games that'll make use of the i7's 8 threads vrs being locked at 4, so it's quite possible to see a 40-50 fps gain, or as little as 0fps.

Ya I don't have it overclocked currently had to put the stock cooler back on for the time being & we all know how crappy they can be. the higher stock values and the multi-thread was really a big thing for me since a lot of publishers are going to start making more and more use of that tech. I just wanted to make sure for the price I was making good choices haha. Thanks for your time!

I wouldn't upgrade your platform right now in your place because new CPU's are going to be realeased in autumn not talking about Kaby Lake X, Skylake-X as that will be expensive for sure- but about Coffee Lake (8th gen)- should be out in 2H 2017, or even Cannon Lake- next year.

ya I actually already bought those items, but think im going to make a return. Ive bee reading horrible reviews about heat spikes & the atrociously awful job they did on the stock thermal paste on those i7-7700k chips & it doesn't sound like just a few of them. I'm honestly scared to even open it lol. I also just took a look at the new Intel processors and apparently there are new MSI boards about to come out as well..Really should of done this before purchasing anything. However did get a really good deal on all the items though that processor was under $300. it was kinda spontaneous haha.

The 7700k is an odd duck. It's one of those cpus that seems to be highly affected by the silicon lottery, more so than usual for Intel. Some of those cpus do just fine under 1.2v vcore, some have been reported at over 1.4v, just to maintain stability. By itself, it really doesn't have heat issues, the problem being the user. It's an i7. It runs default with HT on. It's a 4.2GHz cpu that spends most of its time at 4.5GHz or better with adaptive voltage and clock speeds. It's going to run hot from the get-go, especially when HT is pushed, yet ppl still try to stick a budget cooler with it. Thats fine for everyday, normal usage, gaming is higher demand, and stress tests are funky because ppl keep using p95 newer than 26.6, or use Aida64, not realizing that it'll bounce temps with variable loads, or if they have liquid cooling, they bail after 10mins,when it really takes a good half-hour for the liquid to stabilize.

For less than $300 for an i7-7700k, that was a good deal.

The next generation of Intel is supposed to be the same 14nm process, just a different lga, or maybe as rumors have it, it'll be like Broadwell did and use the same lga1151 as kabylake does now. Can't see it being worth the wait for another 10% performance increase, and the same heat issues as now, but that's me.

I know I cant make up my mind. Its not like I need the best, but I keep telling myself that for maybe 50-80 more I could wait 3months and get the new gen processor and Mobos. Then again I did get a good deal on all of those parts and I know combined with my MSI GTX 1080ti 11gb gpu they will keep me playing games on the highest settings for a quite a while....Hrmmmmmm what to do. the only thing I do need to replace is the Hyper evo 212 i think it barley can handle the 7700k if oc'd at all.

Thought about Ryzen? Better bang for the buck,

 

[VaticanCity]

yes they are having a sale on them + bundle deals at Microcenter where I live as well. Ive just never used amd (cpu's or gpu's) not sure if I want to mess with the learning curve. Im really tempted to use the parts I already bought, but at the same time something is telling me to wait for the coffee lake's (which is Intels response to the Ryzen processors correct?) in ?August? and I not sure for what reason but everyone keeps saying Intel chips are just better for people who do majority gaming instead of graphic design ect. But considering alot of new app and games are going to be utilizing multi-thread//hyper-thread tech Ryzen seems to make sense to me? as you can see decision making like this is not my strong suite lol. Thanks for your time bro.

The difference between Ryzen and Intel is honestly pretty small relatively, granted Intel gets higher fps because of its stronger IPC, but getting 300 or 320fps in cs:go means exactly nothing, even on a 144Hz monitor. It's the minimum fps that really matters, and the Ryzen are close enough that only a benchmark can tell the difference. For a mid-range pc, Ryzen is the smarter buy, it's only when you really top out the enthusiast bracket that Intel has the definite edge, lower price than the high R7's and better performance.
