Just upgraded PC - Cannot feel it

[annihihlatorrr]

Hi, I just upgraded today from an i5 2500k and 8gb of 1333mhz to -

I7 7700k
16 Gb 3000Mhz
256 m.2 ssd - 3000mb/s 1500mbs
Gigabyte z270X
500W Corsair power supply

After I put it all together and installed all the drivers I booted a few programs and had a play around to be quite disappointed to say the least. I have not really noticed any sort of improvement in speeds when on chrome/just playing around on the os.

In some games I seemed to have had a tiny frame boost but I just don't feel as if I am running such a good piece of equipment. To my knowledge everything has been updated and ive done all the normal things to improve performance such as power settings and stuff but does anyone have any suggestions to why everything feels so slow?

Lol the GPU was the weakest link to begin with. You wouldn't feel a difference in most cases.

What gpu? Since you already had an SSD you wont feel a significant advantage with with the M.2 SSD unless you are working with large files, like high quality video clips.

In cases where AVX and the additional threads are used you would see quite an improvement.
In situations where mostly 4 threads are used, without overclocking you might see a stepp up of around 20% at best. (think around 5% per generation plus the additional clock speed)
I'd highly advise you try to clock it higher. The 7700K quite often reaches 5 GHz without much work. Assuming you were already on 4.5 GHz that would easily give you 40% and more performance increase. (more if the new instructions and threads are properly used)

You don't seem to understand that his 270x is what is holding​ him back if he oced his processor to 10ghz it still would game at the same fps in most cases.
