I am currently running a system with an MSI Z270 SLI Plus motherboard with 64GB of DDR4 RAM running at 3GHz, 2 Samsung EVO 960 M.2 SSD's, and 2 GTX 1080's (using SLI). I am currently liquid cooling my GPU's and my CPU, but I want the fastest CPU that the Z270 motherboard can handle. Would that be the Intel i7 7700K? If so, with overclocking, will I see an improvement in performance (for gaming, 4K video editing, etc...)? If the performance increase is negligible, then I will probably upgrade the motherboard and the CPU to the 8th Gen Intel i7 or i9. I really don't care about the cost, so please don't factor in the cost of the upgrade to a i7 7700K, because I'm willing to pay a fair amount to get an increase in performance. I'd rather wait to upgrade to the 8th Gen Intel CPU's, and I'd like to wait until the i9 drops in price before I make that upgrade. However, if the 8th Gen CPUs will give me a MAJOR increase in speed, I'll go ahead and make the purchase. For now, I mainly just want to get rid of the 6700 and overclock the hell out of the 7700K. I'm nearing retirement, so money really isn't a major factor, but I still try to save money where I can. All I'm interested in is the increase in performance, not the price to performance ratio... I've rambled enough. Thank you all for taking the time to read my question.
