Should i upgrade?

[Marjana Ricky]

Ok first of all here my 3 years old specs:

CPU: i5 2500K OC @ 4.8Ghz
Mobo: Asus P8 Z77 VPRO
RAM: 8GB Gskill RAM
PSU: 620W Seasonic II Bronze
GPU: GTX 970 Amp Extreme Edition (upgraded in 2014 Nov)

Now the thing is, last year also went quiet well maxing all the games @ 1080p with above specs (after changing the GPU from, 7850 to 970). My only concern is, will i be able to do the same this year too or its aging now like CPU i meant as GPU is ok for 1080p. Should i upgrade my system? Is it right time? Or it will not benifit much if i move to say i5 6600K with DDR 4 Ram and same GPU.

OR

I should wait this year and upgrade in 2017 when new processors come out or something?

I dont have much money to waste but if i cant run the games maxed out @ 1080p (without AA) then its a concern.
Kindly suggest me please.

i say its a waste. wait till intel's next gen especially if you don't have the money to blow. i don't think you will see anywhere near the performance improvement you are looking for to warrant the cost.

Hmmm nex gen? Intel coming up something alot better then current Skylake?

not that im aware of yet, but im sure itll be much more worth it than switching to skylake from what you have.

With my current setup i wont get any problem gaming almost max at 1080p this year?

you will not have a problem. that cpu is plenty of power for games, especially with the high overclock you have.

Hmmm i hope i sustain this year with this setup.

Thank you.
