Hello, So I recently sold off my FX-8350 and have been stuck in "WHAT SHOULD I DO" mode for the past three days.
My current specs are:
GTX 770
Rosewill Green 630W
Nzxt 340
Coolermaster 212
G.Skills 8GB
Since this is all I can really bring over from Intel to AMD, that's pretty much all I really have!
Now my question is if I should make the attempt to go to skylake and buy myself an ASUS Z170 with an i7-6700k with new RAM or go Haswell i7-4690k with a high-quality motherboard. I use my computer for Gaming (Dayz/Arma/BF4/Etc) and since I'll have a more stable PC I might start using it in my studio for production and video editing. What are the drawbacks to each of these paths and if I plan on using my pc for the next 5-7 years which way would be the best way to go?
NOTE my budget is around 700 for the upgrade, If that helps at all...
