Advice on upgrade

[Laterus]

Hi all,

 

 

I am thinking of selling my  i52500k(4.5ghz OC with mobo+ 16mb ram to my friend and upgrading to an 6700k setup. I currently have a gtx 970 card and I  game on 120hz screen with lightboost tweak. Would i76700k be a viable upgrade ? Would cost me almost half the price since I'm selling my old parts. Has anyone here made the jump from 2500k to 6700k ?

I'd stick with a i5-6600K. Any performance boost you might get with an i7 is not worth the extra $100 it costs to get it. If you are going to spend that, some people recommend... and I forget the setup... one of the six core Haswell-E chips since it floats around the same price as the i7-6700K

the jump between i5 and i7 is the thing. also 2500k seems to be a bit old. i7 6700k is a pretty darn good cpu

That would be a great upgrade. Here is a gaming comparison across multiple CPU generations:
The jump will be even greater going from an I5 to an I7.

Thanks for quick replies :). You guys rock. 6700k it is.

Would be a great upgrade  Agree with M. Yurizaki.  6700K isn't worth the cost for what you are going to be doing.
