I upgraded from my 2700k which was @ 4.8GHz to a 4700k which is at @ 4.5Ghz do you think it was a good decision?

It depends, i would say kind-off. I would lie if i said i didn't want to upgrade, but i know i don't have to in a few years at-least (10-50% cpu usage whilst playing games and editing videos in Sony vegas or Adobe after effects.)

 

As i said earlier most changes in the cpu's is power efficiency, yes there is some bumps here and there but not that get's used that much. (better onboard graphics and such)

I wouldn't have, maybe if you were 1366 and wanted new features, otherwise prob would have just got a nice Z77 board (for newer ivy features) and oced my 2700k,

Still rocking my 2600K @ 4.0ghz at the moment, can do 4.8Ghz with just a Hyper212+, no doubt taking it above 5.0ghz when watercooled.

Sandy/Ivy/Haswell, clock for clock, you wouldnt notice in game unless specifically looking at your minimum fps constantly. average and maxfps are so close to the same with the same GPU.

Maximums - Asus Z97-K /w i5 4690 Bclk @106.9Mhz * x39 = 4.17Ghz, 8GB of 2600Mhz DDR3,.. Gigabyte GTX970 G1-Gaming @ 1550Mhz
