I recently bought a 7600k for my 1150$ CAD PC Build, but a few days after, i saw that Coffee Lake was to be released this august. Do you think there is a huge performance gap between Coffee Lake and Kaby Lake? 

 

I know that a new motherboard will be required, but i can't help but hate myself so being so ignorant and not looking to see if any new cpus are coming out.

Yeah i know but i was planning on getting this rig from last christmas and i got all the prices planned out so i didn't really bother to change everything. If i wanted to get an X-Kaby Lake Processor, i maybe would've reconsidered to get ryzen

I don't think that it would be that much of a difference in performance looking at previous upgrades.

Is the 7600k still a decent CPU for gaming? i don't need to edit or zip files or anything like that.

Yeah it's still one of the best. Defeat Ryzen by about 4-5fps in most games but Ryzen is better at everything else so we recommend that

Yeah it's not bad, it's just that Ryzen is cheaper and has better minimum frame rates so I usually recommend it instead. It's not a HORRIBLE decision by any means, just a poor one imo 

Make sure to quote me or tag me when responding to me, or I might not know you replied! Examples:

I love computer hardware and feel free to ask me anything about that (or phones). I especially like SSDs. But please do not ask me anything about Networking, programming, command line stuff, or any relatively hard software stuff. I know next to nothing about that.

You didn't screw up. The i5-7600K is a decent cpu and will do fine gaming. It certainly would be a waste of money to ditch the i5 & motherboard to replace them with an R5 cpu and motherboard. Even if it was just a restocking fee being spent.

 

If you were buying new, then one want to look at an R5 or the yet to be released Coffee Lake cpus.

 

Coffee Lake is pretty much all rumour at the moment. Intel says it has 30% better performance than Skylake-S, but there are no independent benchmarks at the moment.

80+ ratings certify electrical efficiency. Not quality.

not anymore, optimizations and devs really stepped up, other than rare cases ryzen 1600 beats i5 7600k at most games.

Just wondering, what are the return fees for returning unopened items from NCIX?
