So i'm looking to build a new pc & when shopping for new stuff cpu for example ill look at passmark's website for benchmarks i usually aim towards looking at single threaded benchmarks (Probably Wrong in that) but ive noticed in High end charts its mostly listing server cpus which i would not buy & wont need for gaming.

 

Presently i'm running i5 6600k OCed to 4.2Ghz 16 Gigs of  DDR4 2400 Mhz Ram and a GTX 1070 250GB solid state drive 

 

Goal is to have a Pretty big upgrade from that and have Very good quality 1080 Gaming with stable 4k & a little future proofing

 

Presently looking at 9700k and the 3800x & 5700 XT / 2070 Super

 

Basically asking is there a better source to finding out what would be the best upgrade??

Reviewers like techpowerup, guru3d, techspot, paul's hardware, gamers nexus, tom's hardware, anandtech etc have CPU and GPU benchmarks around games. Best upgrade path seems to be 3700x and 2070 Super with 3600MHz memory imo
