CPU upgrade?

[JonnyTeronni]

Hi,

My build had a GTX 780 paired with a i5-4670k. I play in a  1080p 144hz monitor and my intent is to play always with the best FPS possible.

 

Having said this, I started playing Kingdome come deliverance and the performance was really not great. At least I like to play at 60 fps minimum. So I found a good deal on a Zodiac 1070ti extreme amp and I overlocked to 2100mhz. Also I overclocked the CPU to 4.5 which gave me a score of 664 CB on cinebench. However while playing KCD the CPU is bottlenecking completely ( always 100%) where the GPU normally keeps in 50% of load and FPS are still not what I required to be happy

I knew the game was heavy on the CPu but I had some faith on my 4670k.

 

Whick CPU do you guys think I should buy for gaming on a 1080p 144hz monitor?

 

Thanks

 

[EDIT] - So after some research what I found was (with CPU prices )

4790K or 4770K -  I keep my mobo and 16 Gb of ram but the performance boost will be minimum when compared to 4670K. Also to expensive for me. (200 euros .... ye Portugal market sucks on used parts)
i5-8600K - Maybe the best deal (gaming), faster than all ryzen CPU in many games. But I'm concerned a bit with longevity, it seems video games are using more cores each year, and 6 core don't seems much compared with competition in the long run. Also I would have to buy a new mobo with a socket that would not be compatible in my next upgrade (265 euros)

Ryzen 5 2600 - the 8600k destroys on gaming  (170euros)
Ryzen 7 2700X - Slightly worse that 8600K on many games, but 1) More cores, more longevity?! 2) AMD will support the socket until 2020 3) Mobo+Ram cheaper?(not sure on this one yet). (360 euros)
Ryzen 7 2700 - Price is much lower (280 euros) than previous. Should overclock to the same level than 2700X?

 

Or should I just wait for ryzen zen 2?

Thanks

Do you have a particular budget? I had a 4690k that was bottlenecking my 1070ti and I upgraded to a Ryzen 1700x which solved all bottlenecking issues and I bought it used as well as the board and RAM. Got it all for around $400 (CPU, RAM, Mobo).  If you are just gaming Intel isn't a bad option as well but I tend to not like them because the fact that AMD keeps releasing CPUs based on the same sockets means if I decide to upgrade (or downgrade) my CPU in the future I have a ton of affordable options. This isn't to say you won't be satisfied with intel, you'll probably get slightly higher framerates with an intel because of better single-core performance. Knowing your budget could heavily influence the best choice.

Try and find a used i7 4770K or i7 4790K on Ebay.

Thanks for the answer. Budget is not a problem, but I dont like to waste money. I only want to play on 1080p so it will not be necessary to go extreme high end. I was considering a ryzen. I like to overclock my hardware so I will have to Google a bit about which rysen will be the best for my build. I also have a corsair H110, so I need to check compatibilities as well.

i bet you could find a 4790k on ebay used for a decent price. or you could save up and get a new mobo and a ryzen cpu.

Any idea which ryzen would be the best pair for my GPU? I only use my build for gaming  and I know intel is still generally better on single core, but I'm considering going ryzen to help support competition ( I also love to see an enormous number of cores working on my screen

If I go blue team shouldn't I go for a newer generation?

No, not necessarily.
