worth upgrading i5 3570k

[morta]

hey all im wondering if its time to make the upgrade. iv had this chip for coming on 5 years now. and i dunno it seems to be slacking since now i game in 4k resolution and hwat not. im woindering if it would be worth investing in a z270 chipset with 16gb of ddr4 ram and an i7 7700k. what are peoples thoughts and sugestions?

It would help but not a great deal, have you overclocked it?

not very well it was a **** chip. it gets to hot.

but the i7 7700k is over 4gz at stock..so surly thats much better no? plus the ddr4 ram being a lot faster..it must all add up to better performance. as of now when i game at 4k i get stuttery gameplay others have said my cpu is a bottleneck for my graphics card. i dont no what to beleave. but im leaaning towords just getting the upgrade.

3570K should be fine for 60Hz gaming.

More than that I would upgrade.

if thats the case then why am i not getting 60fps at 4k in most of my games when other people with same gpus as me are only dif being there cpu. as an example the resident evil teaser gives me just over 40fps and as another example i was on sli 980tis and even with that stup up i was not getting fluid fps in sli.

im on a 1080 gpu

What is the full system spec? At stock speeds with 1600mhz memory the graphics card will be twiddling it's thumbs in most situation.

If you can find a good price on a 3770k then i suggest you buy one.
And once it's tested and working ok you could sell the 3570k to offset the cost of the upgrade.
My 3.6ghz 3570k was great at 1080p with my gtx1060 but there were some games that maxxed out the cores and you could see stuttering in tomb raider, gta 5 and assasins creed syndicate/unity.
I got myself a 3770k very cheap off a friend and although i can't clock it, those games run perfectly now.

im not gaming at 1080 though at 1080 everything is fine. but im on a 4k screen 3840x2160 to be exact and anything lower then its natvie looks horrible.. 1440. looks better then 1080 but the image looks blurd. so i want to have it at native. as it is on this cooler im allready hitting like 64c after 5 hours of prime. 65c after 10 mins of intel extream. and this is only at 4ghz. when i first had this chip 5 years ago i had it on a 4.5 overclock. and it was 1.25volts plus very high LLC.and i think my temps were 64c or something like that.i dont rember.but i have since had blue screens so it became unstable at somepoint and so i have dield it down to 4ghz. temps are worse on the stock cooler as i tested it to compare temps and on that its at 80c on the intel test and 79 on prime. with the corsair its 65-64 my temps are ideling in the mid 40s right now. and this is at 4ghz on a manual voltage of 1.18 with very high LLC also there is a strange buzzing imiting for the cpu itself..it could be the motherboard but it sounds like its coming direclty form the cpu..this is another resson why i wish to upgrade. i allready had to replace the hx1000 psu as my pc started randomly shutting down. and since newere platforms are better and support higher tech thats why i was considienrg the kaby or waiting to see what zen is like or waiting for cannon lake if its worth it.
