Upgrade Time what to get?

[snakegb]

Hi All,

Here is my current setup
Core i5 2500K @ 4.5 1.385v|MSI P67A-GD53 (B3 Rev)
Corsair Dominator 4 x 4GB 1600Mhz|GPU: Palit GTX 1070 Super Jetstream
Corsair 950TX|3x24" Monitors|Custom Water cooled


I am looking at an Intel i7 7700k i think (want to stay with Intel sorry)
looking at possibly a Z270 board (Again not sure what one)
staying with my GPU Palit GTX 1070 Super Jetstream

Is it worth upgrading from i5 2500k to i7 7700, I do game but mostly lower game stuff ie not FPS
also will my waterblock transfare from an i5 to i7 i presume it will (EK-Supreme HF - Full Nickel)

suggestions would appreciated

same , itching for upgrade, also do 3d rendering that think more cores will help

Why is it upgrade time, what problems do you see with your current system.

I have a very similar system, upgraded the GPU, CPU and MB soon. I'm upgrading as my XP11 FPS and other sims can be 15-20 FPS and obviously looking for better single thread speed. Also itching to do a build as not done one in 7 years!
