That's not strictly true, I've known people to make up a fault or actually deliberately cause a fault to return stuff. The latter has happened to me and I could prove it, but they aren't interested and hence just refunded them. Not saying you should at all though.
It's a nice upgrade, but as said I'd be looking at 6 cores minimum personally.

Well its generally agreed that theres not been much improvement in overall performance between your old 2600k Overclocked and the 7700k, yes there is some performance increase but not a huge gain, some would even say its a partial side grade. What people are basically saying is if your say on a 4/8 i7, the only real upgrade is to go to a 6/12 i7 or higher.
Personally i think you wasted your money, sorry
I'd actually disagree. The difference is noticeable if he also overclock the 7700k. A good 10% iirc. That said, I would have saved up a bit longer and gone for an 8700k myself. Further to that, however, the biggest chunk of cash you part with these days is ddr4, which he at least has 8gb of, so maybe that'll take the sting out of his next upgrade (assuming ddr5 hasn't hit shelves by then).Well its generally agreed that theres not been much improvement in overall performance between your old 2600k Overclocked and the 7700k, yes there is some performance increase but not a huge gain, some would even say its a partial side grade.
