thoughts on my purchase?

[kiel367]

So, been rocking a 2700k now for a while, and drunkenly purchased an i7 7700k processor and an msi sli z270 plus motherboard as a bundle for 320 quid last night.
Upon realizing this, i just purchased Corsair Vengeance LPX 8GB 3600mhz from OcUk.

im currently on i7 2700k clocked at 4.5ghz, 16gb hyperx blu ddr3 1600mhz on a gigabyte z68ap-d3, will i notice much difference in performance in things such as video rendering on vegas pro? Games in general?
im jumping a few generations of handware here, not done this much of a jump before.

if this belongs in general handware, then feel free to move it.

i am planning on grabbing another 8gb of the same ram soon, just saw the price of 16gb haha

i see what u are all saying, but even second hand, the 8700k is more than i paid for my bundle even with a second hand chip, pushing me massively over budget, as for ryzen, no thanks, just no thanks,

gaming is defo more important to me, i render some vid files for my youtube account now and again and just used it as an example of something i do from time to time, the reason for not wanting to go AMD, is their memory compatibility issues tbh (direct quote from someone who builds pc's all day everyday, and has a good knowledge of ryzen) it seems as tho its almost hit and miss which memory is compatible, now iv not built many pc's in the past few years, but that sounds like too much of a nightmare for me, hence sticking to intel.

this is the thing, people keep sayin, ooh yeh upgrade, thats a 350 quid upgrade (second hand) iv spent my money haha, there is no "buy a different cpu" option, also, i cannot just return a cpu to the big auction site when i got a bundle of mobo and cpu

ok, but i was asking what are the opinions on performance difference between my current cpu and this, not, should i keep it haha
