Hello, Looking to possibly build a new pc, just not sure how much it's worth it at the moment.
Currently I have:
CPU - i5-2500k
GPU - GTX 680 Superclocked
MB - Asus Maximus IV gene-z/gen3
RAM - Corsair Dominator Platinum 1600mhz 16GB
Cooler - Corsair h100i
PSU - Corsair HX 750
Considering the Following:
CPU - i7-6700k
GPU - GTX 680 Superclocked
MB - ASUS ROG MAXIMUS VIII FORMULA
RAM - Corsair Dominator platinum 3200mhz 32GB
Cooler - Noctua NHD15
PSU - Corsair ATX 860
I am planning to hold onto the 680 until the next generation of GPUs drop and grab a 1080 or w/e they will be called.
So obviously the new build is better, my only question is,
Would I actually notice significant boosts in performance, or is the old build still good enough to hold out for newer hardware, especially considering i'm not immediately replacing the GPU?
Also, if something listed is either unnecessary overkill, or has a better alternative, i'm open to suggestions. I do like to build so that I don't have to worry about upgrades for at least a 2-3 years at a time.
Thanks for any help!
