This is my current build.
OS: Windows 7 Home 64 bit
MB: Gigabyte Z68MX-UD3H-B3
Processor: Intel Core i7 - 2700k LGA 1155
CPU Cooler: Hyper 212+
SSD: Crucial M4 256GB SSD
Memory: Corsair Vegence DDR3 1600 4x4GB
GPU: EVGA 680 GTX Reference
PSU: PC Power and Cooling Silencer 910W
Case: Cooler Master 690 Advanced II
Monitor: Dell Ultrasharp 2412M (24inch IPS 1080p)
So I know my current rig is pretty old. I built this back in 2011ish and I have not had the time to really upgrade it and did not see it being worthwhile to spend lots of money to upgrade.
This computer is used for some moderate gaming + a bit of moderate video editing. At some time I will probably add in another monitor or go 1440p dual monitor setup.
I'm thinking of making the following upgrades right off the bat (they are bolded) OS: Windows 10 Home 64 bit
MB: Gigabyte Z68MX-UD2H-B3
Processor: Intel Core i7 - 2700k LGA 1155 CPU Cooler: Hyper 212X
SSD: Samsung 850 EVO 500GB
Memory: Corsair Vegence DDR3 1600 4x4GB GPU: EVGA GTX 1070 FTW or SC
PSU: EVGA SuperNova 650 G2
Case: Cooler Master Mastercase 5 Pro
Monitor: Dell Ultrasharp U2515H (single monitor setup for now but dual in a few months time) . (25inch 1440p IPS)
I have seen tons of back and forth and debates regarding status of 2500k but have not seen much about 2700k. Is it worth upgrading to the 6700k from my current setup? Or should I wait about half a year or so and see what is going with the next architecture? If I hit up 6700k, I would need to buy new MB, New CPU, new ram which could be a rather expensive 600-800 USD upgrade that I am not willing to spend right now. I only got the 2700k because I got a really good deal via Intel's program (iirc around $100 USD)
So what do you think about current upgrades to extend the life of my desktop and what would you do?
