Trying to decide if my upgrading my current build is worthwhile? Looking at passmark, the i7-3930k while 8 years old still seems to be pretty competitive (compared to a reasonable priced CPU, say < $1000). Although, honestly I don't know enough about the passsmark's scoring scale and how quickly speeds multiply relative to score.
My computer runs well enough but some programs take a little longer than I'd like to open (still quick, but not instantaneous lol). I'd really like to speed up remuxing of 4K video. And also upgrade my monitor to 4K. Lastly, I'm partly considering this because I'm thinking of buying a VR headset to play Half Life Alyx and my specs don't currently meet the minimum.
Intel Core i7-3930k
32 GB of DDR3 Gskillz ram
GeForce GTX 980 Ti
Samsung 840 500gb SSD
Asus Sabertooth X79 mobo
Is is an upgrade worth it and any recommendations on components that would benefit unraring 60GB files and 4K remuxing?
Thanks
