I have a i7 4770k on a hyper 212 with a evga gtx 1070 ftw? Bottleneck??

[DSAWATSKY]

Just wondering when its worth it to upgrade ??

None of the games I play so far have issues 

I know my next upgrade is gonna be mb cpu and ram 

As none of it will work with the newer boards

You're fine - wait for Ryzen 4000 series next year

If there aren't any issues and you're still happy with the performance, then it's not worth upgrading

You should only really upgrade if you feel like you need to upgrade, even tho a new CPU can be really tempting.

On some games and depending on your OS install and how cluttered it is. you might be having times where your cpu doesn't make the cut. however with a decent OC had....I would wait for the next 200$ r5 3600 replacement

Though you could start your new build with buying PSU,(like a Seasonic 80+Gold) Case, and Heatsink/Fans(Scythe Mugen 5 or Noctua) While they are on sale sometime .

oh...and if you are not on a SSD, Definitely upgrade to one.

1TB Nvme or a 1 TB 2.5" are only 100$(though the Nvme would require dual-boot OS and a converter card)

Quit dropping em then!

 

Yeah like the others said, you should only upgrade if you don't see the performance you want. Personally I'd still be using my 4790K with my titan Xp if i didn't get my 8086K

Didnt pull a linus 

I did a dumb move and hooked a power cable backwards cause it fit 

Killed a 4 tb and 3tb dead 

Still cant get a extension cable anywhere

If the games you play don't have issues, just wait till they do. All of my games have issues aside from pubg. Sold the 4790k because it performed the same but somewhat playable. New gsync updates helped.

Na i owned a 4790K with my GTX 1080 and in most games it was fine some games i had a slight bottleneck but not much. 

 

OC your CPU you should get 4.4ghz or so on your cooler. 

 

Try this 1.2V 4.0Ghz and then keep increasing the frequency until you hit 4.3-4.4 do not go beyond 1.25V as that is way to much voltage for your cooler on that CPU. 

 

I had a golden 4790K i got 4.7Ghz at 1.225V 8 hours stable in XTU

Safe for me
