Need help with decision

[Llust]

Hi guys,

i need your help

Currently i have

CPU: Intel CORE I7-4770K

Motherbaord: Asus MAXIMUS VII RANGER, Z97

RAM: Corsair Vengeance Pro 16GB (4x4GB) 2133MHz CL9

GPU: Asus GeForce GTX1080 Advanced 8GB

PSU: Corsair 750W

SSD/HDD: few of them

 

And my question is:

Is it worth to upgrade my CPU/motherboard/RAM to new one like i7-7820K or i7-8700(K?) if 95% of my activities are just playing games?

I need to add that im getting married next year, so good bye future possibilities to upgrade to high-end stuff

 

Please help me with that guys

8700K will last you long af.

8700K + decent Z370

And speaking of Z370, the Z370 M5 is quite good

You'll most likely see an incremental performance uplift by upgrading to the i7-8700K... so IMO, not worth the upgrade if you're just playing games.

 

I would look at upgrading something like the monitor or GPU where you'll see a bigger benefit... or save the money to buy a gift for the future missus...

Since you are mostly gaming, a new CPU's won't make that much of a difference unless you're playing in 4K and stuff. I think you should only get a new CPU when you buy a better GPU, which you can't today.

You'll see the least benefit from buying a new CPU at 4K since you're going to be GPU-bound... which is why most reputable reviewers bench CPUs at 1080p.

Ok,

I have LG 34UM68-P 1080p monitor, and i think my 1080 GTX is good enough for now. So you guys don't recommend changing to new CPU just for games?
