Hello Guys

I am seriously considering upgrading my current setup, which is a 2600k cpu @ 4.6, Also i have a 1080 GPU, 16gb of ram that come with the 2600 so prob slow not sure the speed. Have a samsung ssd although not the very fast one. Was wondering what kind of speed increases i would get going to the R7 1700 or even 1800, or waiting for the coffee lake ones, i am sold on getting more core to future proof so dont want 7700 even though it is faster in games.
I primarily use my PC for gaming and streaming occasionally, and play games like pubattlegrounds and H1Z1, Battlefield sometimes.

Edited to add that I use a 1440 monitor and have 2 monitors if that makes much difference.

Thanks for your help.

Thanks for your replies I think after waiting so long with the 2600k I am sure it can last me another month until I see what CL produces. As a side not is there a reason the overclockers bundles in the store for rizen don't have 3200 memory with them?
 
thanks, i now see the 3200 ram dont know how i missed it earlier, but like people suggested i think waiting is fine to see what happens in near future.
 
Wow a lot of replies since I checked last night, all great valid points, i obviously like a bargain as much as the next guy, but as I love gaming and that's what I will primarily do with streaming occasionally on a 1440 monitor maybe the new intel is better for me. Already have a 1080. Wonder what the difference between a r7 @4.0ghz compared to a 7820 at a good overclock playing games that I play like pubg or h1z1. Then I can see and compare with the new coffee lake when it arrives. Thanks for everyone's input.

To be frank, gaming wise, you're not going to see a massive difference going from a 2600k to Ryzen. I upgraded from 2600k @ 4.5. to RYZEN 1700 @ 3.9 and while there is improvement it's only a few FPS. The main improvement is the smoothness of gaming though, FPS doesn't account for it all.

So if you can then wait for something which maybe more of an improvement, unless you have money burning a hole in your pocket!

Wow I thought I would be getting like 25-30% increase not sure what to do now lol. Will see reviews on CL and decide then.
