Am looking to upgrade, and was wondering if the I7 7700 would be a good upgrade to have.
At the moment iv managed to overclock it to 4.622

I know the i5 is a good chip for gaming. just considering my options at the moment for a upgrade. I appreciate peoples opinions. if it turns out not to be a worth while upgrading to a I7 7700 or even I 6700. might look into water cooling the gpu... Might ever go sli.
