It's CPU/Motherboard upgrade time.

So first of all, I made a thread a few months back and I decided to go with a 970 over a CPU/Mobo upgrade because the difference would be rather minimal if I remember correctly, so here I am again.

It's payday and I want to treat myself to an early Christmas gift, so, I want an I7 upgrade as I'm currently rocking a i5-3570k.

So here's what I had in mind:

I don't really care that it's not the current-current generation, but this seems rather good for the price and I can get it cheaper on the likes of Amazon, I just want to know if this will last me for the next couple of years essentially and further more, what kinds of increase in performance would I see using this i7 over my i5?

Thanks!
 
I would remove the mention of other etailers as it against the forum rules.

A 3770k would be a good option not sure your gonna get massive gains with hyperthreading but a worthy option.
