Upgrade to i7

[Helal2000]

Is it worth to upgrade from i5 6600 to i7 4790 for gaming only ???

 

[helpstar]

nope,

also you would have to replace your motherboard and most likely the ddr4 ram as well to "upgrade" to the older platform 1150 with ddr3 ram

depends on the games you play.
but unless it's for free, no.

6600 - > 6700 would be the move with your current motherboard.

For gaming alone, nope.
