I have a Gigabyte Z170X MB, Intel Core i7-6700K CPU, Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO Fan, 32GB DDR4 Memory and several Samsung 850 EVO 1TB SSD's. I'm debating if I should upgrade to the latest and greatest MB/CPU/RAM or not. I've been looking for reviews and benchmarks, including the heirharchy chart here on Tom's. If I upgraded, it looks like the i9-9900K would be the flagship model for this class of process. I used to judge partially by a new processor being a minimum of 3 tiers above the existing CPU, but my CPU and the 9900k are not yet merged in a single chart. Any advice? Should I go with Coffee Lake or wait for Cannon Lake?
I've recently been playing Fallout 76. My GPU is an AMD RADEON RX 580 w/4GB. Most of what I do are general everyday things such as office, email, web browsing, p2p, downloads, etc. It's nice to be able to do video editing and custom Blu-ray compilations and conversions when I feel the need to do so. I frequently work with large files over 8GB in size. My internet connection is FIOS Gigabit and 4 of the 6 drives in my system are Samsung 850/860 1TB EVO SSD, the other 2 are WD Black 1TB 7200RPM HDD. I'm running Windows 7 Ultimate x64 (yeah, I know). I will finally be upgrading to Win10 in early January 2020 before Windows 7 support goes end of life by the middle of the month. I think that sums things up.
