Hello Guys I was wondering whether I should upgrade from my current rig since DDR4 ram has come and the Intel sky-lake CPU. I purchased my rig last December for Christmas and now its kind gut tearing to see new hardware coming out regularly. My Part List here:

i dont think skylake is worth it. not much gain over your current cpu. i would buy a nice cpu cooler and start overclocking

how bout now

Hell man that's practically my PC and I see no reason I need to upgrade. You'll be good for at least a couple years or so depending on how advanced and demanding games get in the next couple of years.

 

There's no need to worry about upgrading right now.

Never upgrade just because there is new stuff. Upgrade when you need the extra performance. There will always be new stuff that comes out every year.

"Nvidia, AMD, Intel, or whatever company out there has only one end goal and that is PROFIT.


If you think these companies exist for any other reason you're gonna be disappointed my dear. CAVEAT EMPTOR"

You'll be good to go for at least another 2 years.

Don't worry about upgrading.
