Is i7 3770K still relevant

[Scitesh]

Hey guys I  am currently running an i7-3770k i an H61 mobo(i  had a Z77  due on me and couldn't find a  new one)  so

stock speeds

I  have paired it with gtx1070  and I  was wondering whether it is still relevant or  not

Should I consider  buying a new  platform (Cpu + mobo)  if yes then should I  wait for Ryzen (+2  months ..the usual delay between launch and retail availability) 

Or  go with kaby lake/skylake 

(Ps  the system in my signature  belongs to my dad)

 

Also is there a  way to OC it

Certainly still relevant, as an i7 6700k is only 20% or so better.

I'm still running a 3770K. It's definitely still relevant, it's still pretty powerful.

 

To OC it, you need a Z77 board. You could do some BCLK overclocking, but I'd advise against it as it's often not good for system stability.

So  it's similar to a 6500

With overclocking, the i7 3770K is very relevant. You'll need an aftermarket cooler to get a decent overclock from it, something like a CoolerMaster Hyper 212 Evo will do fine, and is not expensive.

 

You'll also need either a P67 or Z77 motherboard to overclock it properly.

It definitely is still relevant, I'm using it right now.

Closer to a i5 6600(nonk), but unless you're doing video editing you won't see a difference if you choose to upgrade to an i7 6700k.

You can find better things than the 212 evo for the same price.

I have a deepcool archer (dont kill me was planning on a SFF build looking for a good case )

Or Z68, or Z75.

Short answer: Yes, the 3770k is still relevant. No need to upgrade.

Report the thread and in the report ask/say where you want it placed, in case it isn't obvious where it should go.

 

Edit:

For any thread not just ones you have created.

Oh hell yes, it's still a VERY capable CPU. 6700K is around 24% faster on average and the 7700K is exactly the same. 3770K is also around 14% faster multithreaded-wise over an i5-6600K and around the same amount slower in singlethreaded tasks, meaning they're around equal overall.
