Hey guys!
I could use a little help when it comes to upgrading my pc. I will list my current specs then ask my questions.
CURRENT SPECS:
CASE-Corsair Carbide Series SPEC-02 Mid Tower
CPU-Intel Core i5 4590
RAM-16.0GB Dual-Channel DDR3
MOTHERBOARD- MSI Z97 PC Mate(MS-7850)
GPU- RTX 2060
MAIN USE- Gaming and Streaming.
SIDE NOTE- I am still learning how to build PC's. I have installed the GPU myself and aftermarket fans but have done nothing with CPU by myself yet.
So my issue is all about timing. I want to upgrade my CPU, RAM, Motherboard, and Case. CPU to me seems like the most important piece to upgrade out of those 4 and I am pretty much locked in on an i7 8700k.
With that being said Black Friday and Cyber Monday is a month and half away. If i was to buy the CPU now and install it but wait for BF/CM sales to buy the other 3, am I making myself do too much work now to just reinstall everything in a month and half?
Will I even see a significant jump in performance if I only bought the CPU now? Or does the motherboard and RAM make a difference based on my current build.
If I will see a decent jump and the work isnt crazy, I think having a better build now is worth the potential sale I would miss out on in a month and a half, if the i7 8700k even goes on sale at all.
Any thoughts are greatly appreciated!
