Feels like iv had this CPU for so long now and iv been thinking about upgrading lately. It's running at a speed of 4.6 and its still a pretty decent CPU but I usually upgrade every few years and it feels like I'm due for a new CPU and Motherboard.
Would it be worth it upgrading now or should I wait for the new ones launching in Q1 next year? I'm curious how much difference I would see if I upgraded now compared to waiting.
 
Thanks for the help everyone. Theres nothing really else to upgrade in my system at the moment. I'm running 2 x 290 cards in crossfire which still max out every game. SSD, Razer Mamba wireless mouse which has lasted me many years. Equator Studio monitor speakers which sound amazing and a Samsung 3440x1440 ultrawide screen.

The oldest part of my system is the Ram/Cpu/Motherboard which was a OCUK combo I bought a few years ago.

My next upgrade is probably going to be a similar DDR4/Motherboard/CPU combo but if its not worth upgrading at the moment then ill probably wait till next year.
I am finding 8GB is starting to struggle now as I get the low memory warning when I have a lot of things open and playing video at the same time ect.

I think ill wait till next year then.
