Click the underlined text. You could get new for 280, if they ship to Denmark. Well, you could have to pay import tax or so, not sure about that.

Probably gonna get VAT and all those taxes added on indeed, so by then its gonna cost more than what a new 7700K is gonna cost :)

Not if you're including the motherboard, RAM, etc.

Maybe. You know what I think though ? You have quite a good PC. Save some money till next gen of Intel CPUs come out and see if there is any radical improvement. Also wait for VEGA consumer GPU to come out.

 

Or get something better than the CPU you have but cheaper than the 4790K

Oh trust me, you are fine. I am looking to get a Core 2 Quad for my PC :P and just got an RX460. And I think the 970 won't have any problems with 1440p either, unless you have double or triple monitors.

By the way, according to MSI website your board doesn't even support the 4790K :

Makes it easy then :) Hopefully something exciting happens on the CPU front at some point since Intel have gotten a bit of competition, cant imagine KabyLakeX is gonna bring anything new.

Even the CPU you already have is very expensive around. 

 

And I think that, for both CPU and GPU, you should wait until they produce chips with smaller lithography or different architecture.

 

Well, unless they get too old, of course :P

My friend is using Core 2 Quad Q9550 with RX 460 and still decent in some benchmarks

Mention me if you want to summon me sooner or later

My head on 2019 :

Note 10, S10, Samsung becomes Apple, Zen 2, 3700X, Renegade X lol

The 4790K is actually listed on the list you posted, but a used 4790K is still way too expensive, gonna keep my setup for now and wait until something exciting happens :)

Yes it does. Scroll down a little and look at Haswell Refresh.  

Oh, sorry, I saw the 4770K as the highest. They weren't sorted by name :P. Anyway, thanks for pointing it out.
