No but if you don't have any budget, why not? :P

 

Spend the extra money on  a better gpu or even sli/xfire.

 i5 3570k @4.all over the place || CM Hyper TX3 Evo || ASRock Z77 professional-m || 8GB G.SKILL Ripjaws Z 2400mhz CL10 || MSI GTX770 2GB OC'd 1280/3825mhz || ADATA SP900 128GB || Fractal Design Arc Mini R2 || Logitech G502 || Audio Technica ATH-M50

 

A spy is always better than a ninja!See burn notice. EVERYTHING is just a number!

there is always a way to upgrade other components instead, a core i7-4770K should be enough for years of HD ultra gaming...boost your GPU or get the best PSU you can get or go fancy on the case and watercooling instead if you have left over money or get a 500GB SSD to install your games...if you do other CPU heavy tasks (encoding, rendering etc,) then it could be justified.

| CPU: Core i7-8700K @ 4.89ghz - 1.21v  |  Motherboard: Asus ROG STRIX Z370-E GAMING  |  CPU Cooler: Corsair H100i V2 |
| GPU: MSI RTX 3080Ti Ventus 3X OC  |  RAM: 32GB T-Force Delta RGB 3066mhz |
| Displays: Acer Predator XB270HU 1440p Gsync 144hz IPS Gaming monitor | Oculus Quest 3 VR
