Ive asked before, and read alot of forums. But...
Is upgrading from fx8350 and asus 99 pro board TO i7 4770k and maximus/formula worth $500? Answer, typically NO.
But i cant stop thinking about it.
Does anyone know from experience, what typical 'real world' (not bench or synthetics) the difference would mean?
I use pc for video ripping, rendering, converting, shrinking, copying, burning ect. Picture editing, music converting. And some borderlands mostly, dont know why but im addicted, rarely play bf4 cod ghosts and black flag.
I have a gtx 770 and will upgrade to sli when games require the boost. Also have custom liquid, 360mm rad, 280mm rad, d5 pump, 6 120mm, 4 140mm fans, 1 140mm rear exhaust. Cpu and gpu blocks.
I really like the bells and whistles on the top end asus mobo, all of them. But the amd formula doesnt seem to have as many, and dont think upgrading my pro to a formula would be worth it, as it wont support any new amd chips, and ill be going i7 as soon as this chip either bites it or no longer keeps up.
