I upgraded pretty much every 2 years for a long time, age and way to many real life issues have put me way behind in the knowledge area. I haven't been OC'ing but do know how (bring this up as it might just be the best suggestion). I'm running a 2500K stock (good cooler) with a gtx1080 (my only upgrade in last few years). This has been my rig for 4+ years about other then the Video Card upgrade. This system is used 99% gaming on a 4K monitor
I been looking to build a new system and each time i do some reading it seems a waste of money. But the recent 4K monitor and 1080 have put me back in the upgrade frame of mind. I'm right on the edge of playable on some stuff and and wondering if the bump is worth it. Most "upgrade" threads are complete (older card and cpu) but I'm on the latest card so I'm not sure if its worth it. Will i see a 10-20% increase or? I want to hear frome people who have did it, not futuremark benches.
I am only bringing this up for the 3rd time in the last few years as I have been reading some on the new intel CPUs (worth upgrading from a 6700) and most seem to think the 6700K is going to be good all around gaming CPU for 3-4 + years yet. So moving to one if there is an OK bump seems worth it, but if i just OC the 2500 to 4-4.4 will it be a close match?
sorry I know I'm beating a dead horse here, but I am really wanting to build a NEW system I just need some confirmation its going to improve me more then 10% for the cash output.
