Haswell to Kaby Lake?

Hi!

My existing rig is a dell mobo with a 4790, 12 gb ram, and a 1060 and I was wondering, would it be worth it to upgrade to Kaby lake? 

 

P.S. there are a couple issues with the mobo right now; there's an electrical buzzing noise coming from the mobo and outputting through the headphone jack when either cpu or gpu is under load, and the usb controller doesn't like to power things like phones or audio interfaces.

You'll need new mobo, new ram too. It's up to you if you willing to pay all that money

No, not worth it to update to kabylake. You won't see a significant improvement.  

 

Even if you were to upgrade because of the convenience of your MB having issues, I'd wait for Ryzen to come out (AMD's new line of CPUs) it'll drive intel prices down, and may provide better options for your money.

 

Moving to kabylake will require you to get new ram, a new mobo and a new cpu so.. Yeah

Nope, not one bit- keep your current setup get more RAM.

12 gb is fine, looks like he filled all of his ram slots anyways

 I'd RMA that mobo and stop there; Haswell is still a good place to be.

Ha. I'd say, be insane and join me.

 

But if you have money concerns don't upgrade. i7 haswell is even lesser of a jump.
