7700 vs 7700K what should i get?

rottomer

i'm planning to upgrade my pc and i am not sure what cpu and motherboard i should get.

is the difference in clock speed that important? i never tried cpu oc but if it not very difficult i think i can do it.

i have a air cooled cpu cooler so i dont think i can oc that much.

For my budget build at the time I went for i7-4790 and I regret nothing. Main deciding factor was the price difference between non-k and K version. The 20% price difference wouldnt provide 20% performance increase. 

If your budget is tight get non-K
If you can spend extra or need more performance (are you using yopur PC for work ? Will u keep this CPU for over 4 years ?) then get K version.

What GPU do you have? Doesn't look like a necessary upgrade to me.

Hmm I don't think its a CPU. An i5 4570 is more than capable at running the game above low. Does this occur in other games? Are you playing in DX 11/DX 12?

if the 1700 can overclock well you could get an 8 core for 329 usd that would be also good for gaming. i mean it really depends on how the gaming benchmarks turn out but an 8 core would be quite useful if you have programs that you use that can utilize them.

The only CPU intensive one is bf1

then i would probably wait for price drops. i know i saw the 6700k for 260 usd at microcenter if you do in store pickup so it seems there may be some price drops of intel chips after the ryzen launch.

If it were me I would wait for the ryzen performance to be shown and then make a decision but if an i7 is what you want i would put it like this, if you want to spend the time and efffort to overclock to show a little more performance get the k series along with a overclockable motherboard, if not then you can save a bit by getting the non k series

Without oc do you think the extra performance of the k is worth the extra money?

And do.you think this motherboard is good for some slight oc

 If you are thinking of a new motherboard and processor I would wait for more ryzen performance benchmarks to be shown then to make a decision though if you want to for intel the extra performance of the k series without a overclock is normally not worth it but if you overclock it then it will perform better and for a motherboard as long as the manufacturer says it supports overclocking and the motherboard has the features you want it should be good but if you do plan to overclock make sure you have good cooling and much patience
