help with build ( choosing cpu)

[Jordan_C21]

So, I wont be able to build an entirely new pc till probably October , by then ryzen 3000 series will be out , right now I have an i3 4170 and an rx 480 I could overclock I could upgrade to a 4790k used for like 150 and get a bigger psu call it a day and play some games and then resell the entire pc in october and build a new one, ryzen 5 3600 , 1660 ti , 16gb of ram etc etc. Only issues i have with the upgrade then sell as a whole ism, DDR3 and is it worth dropping about 200$ for the cpu and power supply. Although i could probably sell the entire thing on ebay for $500, thoughts? general discussion? just advice in general thanks

I wouldn't put anymore money in your old system. I would sell as is and save the rest for the new system. It's not worth it to spend  $200+ on a 4790k and a power supply just to maybe make that back when you sell the system in a few months.

what if i stuck with this build with the 4790k since it performs really well and just didnt build an entire new computer in october, not sure if i should upgrade get pretty good performance out of it and stick with it until i build a new one or not

It's really up to you, if it were me I'd wait until I had a decent bit of money saved up and go for Ryzen 3000. Putting money into an outdated system/platform especially 4th gen intel unless you get it for a steal isn't worth it.
