Upgrading opinions

[Essigschurke]

Hello from Germany :)

 

This is my current PC from basically Januar 2014 (except for graphics card and custom water Loop)

 

i5 4570

Msi h87-G41 pc-mate

3*4gb DDR3 Corsair vengance LP 1600

GTX 970

Bequiet system Power 7 450w

Monitor is a 1080p 60hz

 

I started with a r9 270x and all aircooled and Upgraded to a used gtx 970 and build an all custom liquid cooling in late 2018

 

 

I Just got a Lenovo explorer VR and the CPU isnt living Up to the requirements of many VR Games. I think the CPU is quiet a bottleneck now isnt it?

Apart from that i am playing basically every type of Game (Battlefield1, modern warfare, tarkov, Anno 1800, FIFA, dirt Rally, Project Cars 2, Forza Horizon,)

 

So i was thinking either getting a used i7 4790k so that i can keep the Motherboard, RAM and waterblock (its an ek supremacy acetal)

In Germany i am looking at 160€ for that

 

Or switching the entire Mainboard, CPU and 

RAM and waterblock and maybe getting a used Ryzen 5 2nd gen With b450 and ddr4 RAM which would Put me at about 180€ excluding waterblock (which i think could also fit the Ryzen, i have to Look Up the exact model)

 

So basically i would Like to hear some opinions on If you would consider buying a 4790k in 2019. Compared to maybe a 2600x 

 

Or would you recommend Something completely different?

 

I dont have a fixed Budget, i rather always Look for the best bang for the Buck.

 

Oh and i am going at 60°C at full load so i think my watercooling has headroom for overclocking?

 

Liebe Grüße ;)

Nice loops. R5 2600 +b450 + 16gb ram would be 250 euros at least. Having said that, it's also much better performance and you can upgrade to an even better cpu in the future without having to replace mobo and ram again.
