CPU Advice

yea I would certainly go down the 4790k route. you have the board and ram already. you might get a few quid back on the i3.

I just got a free Z97 board so sold my lads FX8350 and crosshair v formula z board.
used the funds from that to buy a 4790k dropped the 4790k into my machine and gave him my 4770k.

I know folk will say its a deal platform but as said above there still going strong and are coping well with modern games.
I can see me needing to upgrade my board and CPU for a few years.

+1 for a 4790k. I've had mine since 2014 and it still performs superbly. Mines not even overlocked and it still slices through every game.

Another vote for the 4790k, still running mine and everything is lovely and smooth.
