hi guys currently rocking a i7 4770k been feeling the need to upgrade, I normally upgrade every 3 to 4 years, well I'm in year 5 now of my PC. she been holding strong and because of the lack of really big leap in performance I been happy with my computer, so I just asking you guys what you think I should do?
1. Hod on
this is always an option in the computer world there always something else just 6 months down the road, however what I feel now is the performance bump maybe only be 5 to 10% better, when it use to 15 to 20% better, so is it worth waiting for 9700K or what ever it will be called?
2. 8086k or 8700k
I like the idea of getting the limited edition cpu that ref the original, the again I know there just binned chips and I have seen 8700K sub £300 and its unlikely I will see 8086k drop from £379, so anyone think its worth £80 difference (now I just typed that I dont think it is?)
3. 2700K
Make the move to AMD? all though I know its 8 cores I think what I use my computer more for single core performance is more important and intel always seem to win that battle.
I mainly use my computer for web development, photoshop, little bit of video editing, and gaming, specially for VR - Oculus - God its good! ( i know gpu more important there, with Im holding out for Navi or volt when ever there due as my Rx 480 does a pretty good job for now. so what do you guys think any advise would be helpful thanks. PS: are gigabyte motherboard no good any more? its just I always got there boards but never see people recommend them any more? thanks
