shoot i put 8700 but its actually 8700k

ohhhh ok ty! I'll definitely upgrade my PSU and buy the MSI one

thank you, so I'll probably buy the MSI one and just upgrade my PSU, ty guys ❤️

ty for moving it, I meant to do that but I couldn't

I changed my mind, I think it will perform better then the 1070, but the 1170 will succeed the 1070 anyways, so the 1160 would be inferior to the 1170. 

They havent actually announced any yet lol, so where have you been doing your research? 

Would be funny if AMD decided to move down the pricetier for threadripper 2. You know...... 500$ for a 12 core part. 

I don't have a budget per say, it's more of a question should I upgrade or not. Is the performance increase worth the hassle of upgrading? I love tinkering and buying new parts but if the end result isn't that much of a big deal it renders it moot kinda.
 
For example I had a Asus Radeon 7770 DirectCU and upgraded that to a 1080. That was a fantastic and unreal upgrade, but was expected. I don't expect the same kind of performance jump here, just wanting to get other thoughts if this "jump" is worth the money invested or if I should just wait more?

noo, personally
since you got a great performer 4c/4t and i think will still be able to handle current games
also DDR4 modules are still expensive so i wouldn't recommend it

I don't think you will notice a huge improvement with those games.  I say now is the time to try your hand at overclocking and see what you can do.  Just keep an eye out for deals and if you see a good one jump on it.

Hey hey
 
Just wondering what peoples opinions are on me upgrading my rig. Worth or not?
 
As of today I have:
 
Asus P8Z77-V Motherboard
Intel 3570k CPU
Corsair 16 GB DDR3 1600 MHz memory
EVGA 1080 Classified GPU
EVGA GQ 650W PSU
NZXT x62 Kraken CPU-cooler
NZXT H700i
NZXT 140 mm Aer fans x3
Samsung 850 EVO 500 GB SSD x3
 
What I'm considering is getting a new trio (cpu,mobo and ram). I don't really know which ones to get. Been looking at 8700k, 8086k(for the novelty aswell), and Ryzen. I have no clear must buy, but I'm leaning on the thought of intel again. Currently I'm playing on a 1440p 165hz GSync monitor. Playing games such as WoW, CSGO, PUBG and the occasional GTA:V. The question is, is it worth for me to upgrade my rig? Is my CPU bottlenecking me that much? I haven't overclocked yet and I have a cooler for it but will the extra performance be enough for me not to upgrade?
 
 I've heard alot about as long as you have a 2nd gen CPU and above it's not really that big of a leap, but it's 5 generation improvement(3rd->8th gen). Also it's the forever burning question is it a good time to upgrade? How far long till' the 8790k releases and so on. Thoughts?
