Will upgrading to an i5 7600k have any noticeable difference in daily tasks?

[MakeAMDGreatAgain]

So I am still using my old fx 6300. I upgraded to a SSD last year and holy shit what a world of a difference.

 

However. Now, I want to upgrade my fx 6300 to a R5 chip, or a 7600k.

 

But now,  since I already have the SSD will I actually feel noticeable performance improvements while using Chrome, editing in Photoshop, compiling games, opening general programs, etc?

 

I know for gaming there will be a big difference, but am just not sure if everyday programs will become even more "snappier", if you will. I mean Photoshop opens within 2-3 seconds already. Will shit actually get even faster? Or will the i5 really only shine in gaming?

In short, Yes. I don't get any more micro stutter in OS.

the fx 6300 can be compareble to the first gen i7 920 so id say yes you would notice quite a difference single threaded apps and multithreaded apps

Considering your upgrading from a FX 6300, I would recommend waiting a few more days for Ryzen 5, all the leaked benchs of even the 1400 is very promising. But to more directly answer your question, yes you will notice an increase in performance in daily tasks. The overall OS will feel snappier, quicker and smooth.

I'm just so frugal that I'm not sure if I am ready to bite the bullet for the upgrade. Have to get new mobo and ddr4

 

I mean if programs become even more snappier than this, I think it's a win win. I wonder if there are any benchmarks of the fx 6300 in cpu tasks compared to the newer i5s that show side by side comparisons of opening programs, etc. Just to see it

 

However with that said. I know for gaming it's a huge difference so I mean I cannot go wrong there!

If you don't feel held back by your current system, then don't upgrade. Personally I feel you should only upgrade when you start feeling the limits of your current system. Also even if you don't go for Ryzen, I would wait for Ryzen 5 since based on the current leaked benchmarks, there is a good chance Intel will lower it's current price on i3s and i5s.

here, a direct comparison between the fx 6300 and the i5 7600k as well as the Ryzen 5 1600 as asked:

It will definitely help for sure, and good luck with your build in the future!

its not going to be massive in day to day use but for games, photoshop and so on its going to make a pretty nice differance. i would wait for the R5 chips and benchmarks before putting down your money though
