Any1 upgrading there 4770k?

I'm tempted by the 5820k bundle that they have on here but I don't think i can be bothered to sell my current stuff to fund it as i won't actually see any benefit for the very light gaming i do.
 
I was looking at a possible upgrade to the 6700k at Christmas. But not now.

Going to wait and see what AMD might bring to the table and the 5820k is another option I might consider.
 
My three Haswell CPUs (4770k @ 4.2GHz, 4770K @ 4.4GHz & 4670K @ 4.0GHz) don't look like they will need replacing any time soon. Only thing that really tempts me is the 5820K but X99 is too expensive for the "gains" in gaming.
 
4790k here, basically a speed binned 4770k. But I'm considering a 5820k based X99 setup.
 
I'm definitely not upgrading just yet. I splashed out when I upgraded from an i7 860 and got a 4770k with a H100i, z87 sabertooth 8GB of 2100MHz RAM and a 750GB Samsung 840 Evo, all of which are coping fine.

I got lucky it seems and can do 4.7GHz at 1.32v although day to day is 4.5GHz at 1.2v but I haven't tried going any lower than that.
 
nope,i cba

still on sandy/ivy here,maybe a new gpu in near future

I do feel i'll lose my fiddling skills though without new tech to tinker on:(
 
Nope. Maybe in a couple of years to something with 6-8 cores but my next upgrade is for 4k so new monitor and graphics card(s) first.
 
Skylake-E perhaps but at the CPU end i feel no need to upgrade to Skylake from a 4770k.

I think im just going to save up and do a huge upgrade in a year or two. Its a long time since i've done one that truly blew my mind (Last time was going Q6600 to i7 920/R2E etc)

I want that feeling again.

Dont think you will see a huge jump in cpu power in a year or two from what you have lol.

I have still to oc my cpu lol
 
Sitting at 4.4 Ghz on air and thinking I'll go for Skylake-E just because I want to start water cooling.

Performance wise, being mostly a gamer, I don't see any reason.
 
keeping my for some time yet. does what I need it to do great, games runs good at the moment. might get a better gpu soon if I need to upgrade.....
