Should i upgrade from ivy bridge?

[Darth-Marius]

I need your opinions guys, i am thinking of upgrading from my trusty i5 3570k to a skylake processor, should i? i am going to use it for gaming and some editing. thx

[Deletive]

Nope. It's not worth the extra costs for the amount of extra performance you get.

[Jaybird]

nah

[Maximun]

i did, i had a i5 3570k and i upgraded to a i7 5820k and their is a noticeable difference in games like arma 3 and dayz along with youtube rendering times!

Do you feel as If you need to upgrade? Looking at your PC you will want more ram and a better GPU over the skylake CPU.

[OAcesync]

I wouldn't bother upgrading

[EliasNM]

Wait for Skylake-E, or go to Haswell-E, the new CPUs are not a huge improvement at all, I was going to upgrade as well then decided against it. Now I have two 5820K builds, so why not right?

Not worth it - new mobo + DDR4 memory - too much money down the drain

[stealth80]

Im guessing you aint updated your rig in a while on here, as it says 6gb ram which is ? lol

 

For Skylake you would need new mobo, new ram and new proc

It wouldn't be a large performance increase and I doubt you would notice it in gaming.

 

for that money you could drop in a 980 and see far greater improvements (albeit only in games)

Nah

I mean unless you want to, and you have the money

But you ain't getting too much for it.

what about you upgrade that weak ass GTX750 to a powerful GTX970 or R9 390/390X instead? this will give you MUCH more performance in games!!

(yes your GPU is that weak!)

That is a completely different kind of upgrade from going skylake. More expensive too.

[Avalen]

I'm upgrading from Ivy Bridge to Skylake, but only because I got a good deal on my old rig. I wouldn't recommend upgrading unless you have something similar lined up as the performance gains are fairly insignificant.

[KarateHottie93]

Nah bro keep the 3570K. I love mine and will stick with it til it's worth less than $40 on eBay. At that point I will admit it's outdated, mount my beloved P8P67 WS Revoltion on the way, and order a Zen++++ FX-64x8.

Not very much. The CPUs cost the same, the RAM costs the same, the boards cost almost the same unless you get a top end $500 X99 board.

 

5820K is the way to go right now apparently.
