CPU upgrade

[Half W0lf]

so I'm currently running a 5820k and my friend ordered an M4 socket motherboard for his 1700x gaming build hes working on. and he got a second MB somehow with no additional cost and he's giving it to me.

 

If this is worth the upgrade I would like to get the 1800x since they're discounted. get the extra cores and threads.

 

I work with various software pretty much all adobe stuff not as a job but a hobby. I recently been really into adobe illustrator. also love video game; I record most of my games and occasionally stream for friends.

 

if I do upgrade I'd also like to water cool my build as well since im running the 1080 ti founders edition and i monitor it using NZXT CAM with long gaming sessions it runs over 85C. I also have a triple monitor setup my main monitor is 1440p and my other two is 1080p. (if there are cheaper alternatives please leave a comment)

 

So is this free mother bored worth the cost?

CPU

Water cooling parts

power supply (purely for looks; custom sleeves) 

case (looks as well)

I honestly wouldn't upgrade from a 5820K personally, it's still a good CPU

Not worth the upgrade, and it will be a.downgrade for gaming

thanks I was thinking the same as well cpu's last a while and I haven't had any problems in the last 3years. I've been wanting to watercool my build but the deal breaker was I would like to upgrade my cpu I was planning on it in another 3years or so but this opportunity presented its self. that's why I'm seeking advice from the community. thanks for your advice =]

It will be faster than a 5820k, but dont expect it to be that much faster. The 1700 (usually cheaper than 1800x but still the same CPU once overclocked) is still slower in single core performance. It might do a bit better when streaming (2 extra cores after all), a bit faster in illustrator, but it's just not worth spending money for a new CPU.

 

You can still get an AIO water cooler for the graphics card if you want to.
