Should i start saving for skylake

[fapmannn]

Hello,

So i'm currently rocking 4770K with Asus VI Formula @4.2Ghz. Also running Dominator Platinum 16gigs

My plan of upgrade is to upgrade 780ti to 980ti when it comes out, now i'm thinking would it be worth to upgrade 4770K to skylake? Will i cain much of an improvement?

Mainly i do gaming on my pc.

You should start saving for a new PC, for whenever your current PC does not do what you need it to do. Particular technology (skylake or whatever) does not matter.

Ok i'm sorry, i spelled that incorrectly.

What i mean is would it be worth performance wise to upgrade to Skylake from this?

You should only spend money for an upgrade when your current configuration no longer does what you need it to do.

Thank you so much for saying that, most guys will be like "yh go for the skylake its gonna be great"... as if.
The skylake will most likely be a joke, i mean the performance with your 4770k or non k with skylake's i7 will be 20% difference or less. Best to wait 2 generations usually rather than go up 1 generation, but even than 2 generations up might not be all that big a gap. The i series have quick upgrades when their improvements are not even all that, but still the customers have to be fooled to rinse their money on new equipment that is just a minor change.

And i7 4770k my friend you will play games at a v.good performance dont be fooled by their marketing BS, especially when you have a good CPU that does majority of tasks superbly.

3770/k is still good enough and it came out 3 years ago, guarantee it will still kick butt in 2016 too mate

Never upgrade until at least 2 tocks and sometimes you can wait for 3 with the current pace of the IPC improvement
the 4770k is a great processor and in gaming you will gain a couple of fps at best if you upgrade to Skylake and well that's not even counting that with DX 12 games later you might not even gain a single fps since it should transfer bottlenecking from the CPU to the GPU
So honestly you might not need to upgrade anything but GPUs in the future
I will probably get Skylake myself but I am at SB but if I had haswell like you I would have never even thought about it

I'd have to agree with the others, people get hyped and pressured into upgrades. Made to feel like they're 'suffering' from being outdated even when they're not. Technically most things are 'outdated' shortly after release in the tech field because of the high rate of constant development. Having an 'outdated' system only becomes a problem when it's actually holding you back in terms of performance. I upgraded to devil's canyon coming from a core 2 duo so the upgrade was substantial. Had I had even a sandy bridge i5 I wouldn't have bothered. Some people 'have' to have the latest and greatest and so long as they don't mine constantly spending and upgrading to do so, more power to them. It's hardly worth upgrading each and every generation, many times even upgrading 2 generations barely gives worthwhile performance gains for the cost.

Probably 10% IPC improvement over the last gen like always and it doesn't look all that special: http://www.sweclockers.com/nyhet/20399-tio-modeller-av-intel-skylake-for-lga-1151-hittar-ut-pa-natet

From what I've read it seems to have s upport for both DDR3 and DDR4 which is interesting.

Your i7 is fine!
