My Specs
Hello!
I have been thinking about upgrading my system lately and I just managed to get a 1080 Windforce OC on the cheap to replace my old 1050ti Gaming X.
I am currently thinking of upgrading my cpu (intel i5 6600k OC at 4.5GHz stable) and was considering either defecting to the other side and getting a Ryzen 7 1800X/2700 or upgrading within intel and going for an i5 7600K or maybe a used i7 6700k if I can find it.
I am thinking that if i go for a Ryzen I will have to get a new mobo as well so the cost is that much higher, but with the insane prices people still ask for the 1151 intel processors I will end up having to pay it anyway. For the money I would pony up for a brand new i7 7700k I could buy a Ryzen 7 2700X plus an Asrock Fatal1ty X370 Gaming X mobo. If I want to go above a 7700K where the CPUs actually cost sometimes less than a 7700K, I will have to fork over another sum for a MOBO upgrade, which gets me way out of budget. On the other hand going for a Ryzen I will be futureproofing my system with more cores/threads.
My question now is: Is it even worth it to upgrade my 6600K? Will I see a big difference or will it be like 10-15% increase with the 7700K or the Ryzen 7? And if so, which of the two routes would you recommend?
I usually use it for gaming (Battlefield V, Apex, PUBG, ME3) and for work.
