Its an option that I considered, (very similar system to yours). But I opted for X99 instead.

Not worth it, if you are gonna jump from the 4790k it would have to be X99 or nothing. Pointless moving from a 4790k to another 4 core i7.

No point really.

KK thanks peeps, Guess I'll be staying Z97 until Kabylake or even Cannonlake releases then

 

[BriT]

Are AMD actually gonna release a good CPU? Otherwise Intel will be releasing their new CPU's with a whole 10% quicker than previous versions the foreseeable future. Reckon my 4770K will last a good 3 years yet.

 

[uscool]

not worth it at all, i myself moved from a AMD, so was a big jump

That's worse than going from a 2500k to 6700k, No way!

 

[Watlinguk]

dude keep your setup it's awesome! and please do not move unless cash is no issue, even then consider the X99!

No m8. I went from your 4770k to x99 set up (nearly went skylake 6700k )and gained absolutely nothing except less money in the bank. Don't do it as the only real gains noticeable are in benchmarking and faster video encoding. Gaming nothing and general response nothing. Last time I'll ever upgrade unless there is a massive massively massive boost.

TI SLI do it!!!

SInce your 4790k is overclocking quite well i wouldnt risk it, ya might get a stinker of a 6700k and end up losing performance. I remember loads of people doing that when ivybridge came out, switching from 4.8ghz+ sandy chips to ivy chips that could barely manage 4.5.
