mine can just about handle it when bt get there act together and the internet actually works and im in the middle of Birmingham! im guessing your internet is like my friends about 5Mb/s? 

4MB/s here now, I had dial up about two years ago now, and well with four people in the household, unless you're the only person using it, you can struggle to steam 1080p at times, as well as downloads take ages, especially fun when you're downloading files for an OS. So yea, LAN how ever works brilliantly especially when you get bored and buy a 48 way 100mbps switch (I don't have any NAS which can read or write faster than 100mbps) but streaming wise you have no hope with 4K, that and I don't have the 4K screens anyways to actually use the streaming services at 4K anyways.

yeah thats why i host my own plex server with a mix of 4k and 1080p films on it all uncompressed (its a 10tb server) so i can watch everything at home without having to worry if bt decide i can have internet today or not lol

Yea, that sounds like fun, and I'm planning to do that as soon as I can be arsed to work out of to RIP DVDs to the NAS which have the encryption stuff to stop you, never could be bothered to properly look into it.

never been interested in amd hardware i think ive concluded that im just going to stick with my current cpu and OC it 

In your case, the only platform upgrade worth considering would be X99 (or Ryzen if that ends up good). Heck, even if you this were a 2500K we're talking about, I'd recommend either the i7 for that platform, or an X99 Hex core. Going from one consumer platform to another isn't good value for the dollar. 

 

So either go for the 4790K, or go X99 (or Ryzen).

i have a coolermaster 212 evo like every other scrub lol  how much OC do you recon id get out of it with that its currently at the base clock of 3.5GHz 

A, well it can get you up a decent bit still. Anyway just see how far you get while you are comfortable with temps: If not you can always look toward a better cooler.
