Hi

just a very simple question..

I have a 4790k with a 1080ti on a Asus maximus VII ranger board.

I'm kinda considering upgrading but i get very different advices about it..

I was thinking of

8700K
Maximus hero X
Trident Z 3200 CL14

1. Does not worth it... Wait for next gen in two years and you will still be able to run anything by then without issue and won't notice a big difference in gaming or rendering

2. Yes ! Worth it, more performance, more RGB, DDR4, SSD M.2...

blablabla...

I'm asking there to know what you think ?

Thanks
 
Waste of money. Although you will see a small performance increase it certainly isn't enough to justify the huge price you would be paying for it. Pretty much every comparison between the 4790k and 8700k has come to the same conclusion that for gaming it simply isn't worth it.

Is your 4790k overclocked at all?

Why are people so determined to make their pc look like a fairground arcade with all this RGB nonsense? It looks tacky to me and just adds on unneccessary cost.
 
Oh and forgot to say I have a 34 inch monitor, 34 3440x1440.

Hm OK I'll wait probably !

Had made an oc profile before a 4.8 but wasn't stable enough so I switched back to 4.4 boost. I wanted to use it again and switched to manual vcore instead of adaptive as it was before on the oc profile but it made my pc boot loop. It was a pain to get back to bios and even by rolling back to the 4.4 profile it continued to do so until I realized that the xmp profile was apparently modified. Can it be because of it? I'd like to try to get a nice oc but now I freak out that it does that again. Ahah.
