just wondering from those of you who've gone the transition. 

 

I have a 4930k, have to push the voltage a bit high to maintain a good overclock.. Is the 5960x that much more of a powerhouse? Or am i doing just fine with the 4930k?

 

Mostly just gaming, video editing, modeling, streaming and vm's just for testing new stuff out

Not at all worth the upgrade, the extra performance you would gain would not be anywhere near worth the 1350$ it would cost.

I agree, it's probably a better idea to spend your money on a better cooler or PSU and you'd probably get more performance just overclocking a tad bit more

One day I will have my GTX 970. One day. PC specs are at my profile.

Not sure how to check what part works with what? Check out my compatibility guide!

Its definitely not worth it. Like everyone said before... The processor you have now is great.
