Should I Upgrade 4790k to 7700k

[aznwilsonchen]

So like titles saids,

I have a 4790k stock never OC'd and I've had it probably Nov. 2014.
The computer part store in my city is having a sale on i7 7700k + Gigabyte Z270x Gaming 5 MB for $464 solid. I was wondering if it would be a good idea to upgrade. But then I would have to upgrade my RAM also. I'm also currently using a Corsair H100GTX and I'm planning on keeping it. Power supply will also be replaced. Currently running a EVGA GTX1070 SC stock.

So I guesstimated approx. $700 or so into the new parts including: CPU,MB,RAM,P.S.

Is this a good investment? I don't do a lot of video editing but I do from time to time, but mainly my PC is used for gaming.
Thanks

No, I wouldn't. The gain in performance is not worth the costs.

No, dont upgrade to a 7700k. If you really want to upgrade, get a 1080ti or invest in a better monitor.

No IMHO. wait for a substantial upgrade. oc your 4790k a bit, its a great cpu.

No not at all. At least wait for Coffee Lake if not Cannon Lake. Even then, wait to see if games need the extra cores.

But if he doesnt change it, sooner or later it will be so cheap to sell.

That may be true, but the 7700K is not the one to buy as a replacement unless Intel tells us that Z270 will be supported by Coffee Lake. And even then, why buy the 7700K if you can buy a 8700K for the same price in a few short days/weeks? My point is we will find out more on Aug 21st. Wait until then to make a new CPU purchase.

I've recently just got the GTX 1070 last November and my monitor is 144hz so probably not going to upgrade either for some time. I think I'll wait for the Coffee Lake, which I did not know was coming out soon. Thanks for all the wonder and informational replies!
