Hello all.
So after a good few years it feels really itchy to replace my i7-4790k.
The only problem is I am not totally brainless on what cpu to get. I mainly game so I would love to choose between r5 3600 or i5 9600k. Maybe even something like r7 3700x and its intel rival.
Main issue for picking is - I don't know what performance gain I would get and if it's really worth an upgrade.
Current specs:
4790k@4.6 ( did not get a high end cooler for more )
16gb 1600 ram
gtx 1070
1Tb hdd
256gb ssd
Games I'm playing are mostly e-sports titles, battle royals and mmos. For me graphics don't matter. I allways play with lowest settings to have 144fps AT ALL TIMES if possible.
And that is not really a case with games like apex legends or pubg.
So what are your thoughts? What kinds of fps bump I could get with a newer cpu? Also I might go up to gtx 1080 if needed as current cpu bottlenecks it pretty hard ( allready had one )
