So I was planning to upgrade my pc and i bought RTX 2070 and now i have bottleneck with my cpu i5-7400. Now i need to buy new cpu and I was planning to buy i7-7700k(Most powerful what my motherboaard supports). So my question is Will this work out when I buy new i7-7700k and 600w power supply. My goal is to stream and play fortnite.
MY SPECS
i5-7400(will replace with i7-7700k)
RTX 2070
1x8gb
1tb+120gb ssd
asrock h110m-dvs
500w(will replace with 600w)

If the OP goes used then the upgrade may be worth it but getting that 7700K for new at $349 plus...

8 threads will help a lot. I assume your board's bios is updated already to take 7th gen so you should be good to go.

Wont be able to overclock 7700k further on that board albeit it's base clock is 600MHz faster than the regular 7700. It's worth it.

Only concern i have is your ram. Would want 16GB ram with a graphics card like that. 8GB ram will only cause a bigger pagefile when vram data is circulated. Also dual channel 2x 8GB will also help streaming. Dual channel doubles the memory bandwidth. Its worth having.

Regarding psu, don't buy cheap. Get tier A psu.

The 7700K is still quite expensive new, for just over that cost I would get the Ryzen 2600/B450 Board & at least a 2x4gb DDR4 kit @3000mhz. The Ryzen will handle streaming better then the 7700K, plus this gives you a much better upgrade path. Then sell your current CPU/MB/RAM.

While I don't necessarily recommend against this advice, it does seem like a much bigger upgrade than OP was originally bargaining for. Also, if they get a cheap mATX motherboard with only two DIMM slots, then it'll be costly to upgrade to 16GB of RAM in the future, so I'd just get that now, as 16GB is becoming more and more necessary as time goes by.

If the OP goes used then the upgrade may be worth it but getting that 7700K for new at $349 plus they'll need a aftermarket cooler ($30 or so) is going to make this quite costly. It's pretty much identical in price to go with Ryzen/16gb & PSU then it would be for just the 7700K/Aftermarket cooling, that's also not including the price of the PSU.

The stock cooler for the 2600 is more then enough for cooling and some overclocking.


Now if the OP can get the 7700K for a good price then that;s another story.

Ah, wow, it's crazy that all those components can go for near the price of a 7700K with cooler. This is probably the best upgrade choice, then.

in my case i have already 8gb should i just buy one 8gb more and save 50 dollars?
And after the upgrade i shouldt have any difficulties in the gaming and streaming even in battlefield 5. Putting to this pc over 1000 dollars whats crazy for a school boy,
