7600k

Should I ditch it? I'm very happy with my PC however slightly ****** off that I can't go to a coffee lake cpu with out changing the lot so is it worth upping it to 7700k for further longativity or sell up and move to ryzen?

I think it's just an upgrade itch but wondered what others thought?

Only aspect I don't like in my PC is my mechanical drives there 5 year old wd green and are terrible! I salvaged them from an old nas

I am just feel abit gutted, I bought it at launch as my previous rig was am3 and died but needed a PC so couldn't wait and tbh I didn't have faith in amd coming out with anything decent, turns out I was wrong :/

Ignore a lot of these people here - they tend to flip-flop between what is good due to gear acquisition syndrome. I have seen people here who upgraded their whole CPU platform three or four times within a two year period,and each previous CPU was rubbish and the new was the greatest,until that was rubbish and so on. Apparently half these "crap" CPUs they argue about are perfectly fine since in the RL my mates seem to run all these games fine.

Stick with what you have for the time-being as it is quite new. However,I would have said realistically anyone jumping on the Core i5/i7 7000 series this year should have realised with Ryzen launching and Coffee Lake launching a 4C/4T CPU was going to be less relevant over the next few years and you can see how the Core i5 8600K is significantly better value than a Core i5 7600K was. Realistically you should have just waited until Ryzen and Coffeelake,since even though many here go on about single core performance,most of the ones bigging up the Core i5 CPUs the most,don't actually own one - they only ever have bought CPUs with at least 8 threads and nothing less.

In truth I wanted my pc back, plus had no faith amd would deliver at all, I was wrong on that lol, I'm having zero issues with my pc besides Windows updates, it performs as I wanted was just an itch I had and I probably should have waited looking back but ah well live and learn.

Do any games you play not perform very well to the point of making your gaming experience unhappy? If the answer is no then why bother?

What resolution are you playing at? You play at 4K 60fps max right? You will be GPU bottlenecked, just lower your settings if you don't hit the max.

GTX 1070 vs 1080 vs 1080 Ti @ 4K

They all play fine thus far I game at 2560x1080, was more of a itch but I'll be sticking with the system
