I7 7700k

[narrdarr]

My one core is officially dead on my i5 6500.

Is it even worth buying a i7 7700k for my z170 mobo or should I wait for zen2 and get a 3700x and a new mobo.

[eemunni]

Imo I would wait for zen2.

If you have money to buy a new setup, go for it. I’d rather just get the cpu and enjoy it.

Kinda What I was thinking but prices are high for i7 7700k. Even used prices.

I have the same thread going on @ ocn

It been going back and forth

Depends on how much you pay for the cpu I'd say. We're talking about <100 USD then I'd get the7700k,

You will never find a second hand i7 7700K for less than 100 dollars, this is ludicrous thought.

 

OP, like stated if you have the money to buy all new then the Ryzen 7 3700X ~ 3800X that's the best route.

around here right now they go for 200 bucks with maybe a little wiggle room for negotiations. idk if right now that would be the chip id recommend for bang for buck but with z170 compatibility in mind idk sure if its worth it to OP. i would probably rather sell the mobo and cpu and get something more recent , maybe even zen2

Who would I sell it to? The cpu has a dead core and the only upgrade path is i7 6700k or i7 7700k which most people are saying its not worth it.

 

The only reason considering an i7 7700k is that newer GPU still are the bottleneck at 1440p and higher. Reguardless of the it be an i7 7700k 1800x 2600x or newer. The only real improvement is to the 1% lows and thats 15-20% better. I gues the real question is that worth it not at 600 USD?

Just for switching platforms.

7700k is the biggest trap in 2017

Thats exactly the point I'm making. But at the end of his video he only considers the price of cpu to cpu which is correct its a no brainer to take 1800x in this case but he is not taking into account the cost of have to switch platforms aka to mobo and fast ram to get the most out of the cpu.

idk where you from but dont you have some sort of craigslist or something. a website to sell used stuff? you never know what people are looking for. if the board is fine then someone might need a replacement board because theirs broke or something. and the chip .... well you would have to price it lower but someone might just need something of that era to boot a testbench or something. hell if the chip runs fine otherwise someone might still consider is for some sort of office pc or something if the price is right. just dont be one of those bitches and try passing it as 100% working. be honest.

Option 1 (best imo)

get any i5 6500/7500 no matter k or non k

 

Option 2 

for get the z170 mobo limitation

upgrade it 

compare prices yourself

r7 1700/ r5 2600 +$65 mobo vs 7700k etc

just a quick question...say i jump to the new zen2 platform
How much do you think i would be able to sell my?
asus z170 gaming pro (1301 bios for OC'ing non-k cpu)
i5 6500 with a dead core, but cores 0,1,and 2 are synced with stable OC up to 4.3 @ 1.3v(can push higher but whats the point))
16gb 2x8 2400mhz (oc to 2600ish from the blck OC)

Or i might just give it away to friend. If you guys think this can out preform a fx 6100 on some crap mobo with 12gb ram.

that should be easy to find out just go looking for it on those sites and see what other people sell theirs for. and then id price the cpu 25-30% lower than others do. 

why would you change the ram? you just want higher clocked once for ryzen? again just check out other peoples offers

[narrdarr]

all people in my area try to do is sell parts  at crazy prices

 

like

AMD A10-7870K 8 gb ram on a Asus ROG Crossblade Ranger  for 300$

or

3DFX Voodoo 5 5500 AGP for $250

 

although some decent deals for gpus only

like

Gtx 1080 amp for 300$

gtx 1070 ssc for 200$

 

but i don't need those
