[SOLVED] Finally Upgraded i7 3820 to i7 8700K

[shawnsum]

I'm going from this..

• 
  Intel i7 3820
  
  Asus Sabertooth X79
  
  Corsair 16GB DDR3 1600
  
  GTX 980TI
  
  Samsung 840 Pro 256GB SSD
  
  Win7

To this...

• 
  Intel i7 8700K
  
  Asus Prime Z390-P
  
  Corsair 16BG DDR4 3000
  
  RTX 2070
  
  Samsung 970 Pro 512GB M.2 NVM Express SSD
  
  Win10

All I do is game so I went with the i7 8700K over the newer i9's. Will be playing at 2560x1440p @ 165hz on my ROG 27" IPS GSYNC monitor. Goes without saying, but I was long overdue for a upgrade!

Good upgrade you should really feel the performance increase

some months later...

Instead of doing something like that. I have upgraded to E-5 Xeon 2697 v2 12 Core 24 Thread CPU and all the problems are fixed.
