Upgrade? CPU? i9?

And we’re up and running :) (after it not posting and then me realising I hadn’t plugged in the motherboard power to the psu). Weird not hearing any hdd activity!
 
I’m refraining from overclocking currently. Enjoying the peace and lack of extra heat in the room. Everything is working as intended now. I am very happy :)

My current system -

i7 4770k @ 4.5Ghz
16Gb Ram
1080Ti

The CPU is certainly starting to struggle on some games like Planet Coaster, AC Origins, The Universim, X4 Foundations etc.

Is it worth upgrading the CPU, motherboard, Ram? Wait? What kind of options are there currently? Budget irrelevant, but would still like decent bang to buck.

Oh, and I can't be faffed with overclocking anymore, but do have space for a triple radiator. So either a strong stock CPU I guess or one pre-overclocked by OcUK?

I can tell you that game likes cores. Performance fixes with 2.6Beta4, allow the game to stretch to 10 cores (cores not threads) pushing them to 70-80% easily on my 3900X and more perf improvements to come as currently the game supports 16 core CPUs.

It’s so so much smoother on my new 9770k system than my 4770k (not hugely surprising). I can now physically go into sectors with my few hundred station complexes no problem at all. All ready for the new split systems and in the meantime 2.6 mechanics :)
