[SOLVED] Get new CPU or new rig?

[mason.swedin]

right now I can either get a new rig for like $1300 (ill have to save up more) or I can get a new CPU for $290-$400

I have an i5 4690k and rx 580, 16gb ram,

the CPU I can get is the i7 4790k, is that upgrade good enough so should I get a new rig.

if you upgrade the graphics with it...

But you can also build/buy a beasty PC for $1300

Buy a ryzen hexacore or more rig. Ryzen is awesome.

games are starting to use more than 4 cores now:

if you game at 1080p, get a gpu with 4-6gb vram. if you game at 1440p youll want 6-8gb of vram.

hope this helps

my GPU is only like 5 months old, upgraded from a 7 year old GPU so for me this one is amazing
