CPU change from i5 to i7

[xaka12]

Right now i have intel core i5-4690K @3.50GHz and im thinking to get the i7-8700K ofc i have to change my motherboard aswell but i want to know if i need to change my GPU i currently have GTX960-4GB.

No....you do not need to change your GPU. Although you will need to reload the drivers after you get everything back together.

 

[Mattp2017]

You don't have to change your GPU if you don't want to. It will work fine in the new motherboard.

No change on the GPU but you will need new RAM (DDR4).

DDR3 wont work right?

 

[jay32267]

Correct. DDR3 won't work.

[xaka12]

Correct. You would want a better CPU for gaming and streaming.

What is your motherboard?

 

[xaka12]

You are going to want DDR4 2133MHz memory, well you are going to want DDR4 memory....... the Mhz will depend on which board you get but it should tell you on the specs.

If a Z370 motherboard & 8700K is too expensive I'd recommend the 2600X/B350 motherboard with updated BIOS and 2666+ DDR4 (2x8gb).

Do you guys think this one is good enough? https://www.ultramalta.com/AORUS-Z370-Gaming-K3--Intel-Z370--Sck1151--DDR4-ATX-_p_1852.html

The Gigabyte Aorus boards are good.
