i7 3770k Worth Upgrade?

[bubuie]

Hey guys, i am running with :

 

CPU : i7 3770k

M/B: Z77a-G43

RAM : 16 GB 1600mhz

GPU : 1080 GTX

I mostly play on my TV which is 1080p, and it's pretty enough for me, is it worth upgrading 

The cpu, MB and RAM ?

I dont see any bottlenecking with this PC

On 1080p it is probably Bottlenecking, but not by much. I wouldn't bother too much.

Then why bother? Hardly any support will come for this action in this forum. We like old stuff

If you feel it's enough for you, then it's probably not worth upgrading. Give your CPU a decent overclock if you have a good cooler and call it a day. The 3770K is still a very capable chip, though you will likely experience some level of CPU-bound performance limitations.

I was thinking to get Corsair h100 cpu cooler 

with that i think i would be able to overclock enough

then if you want to get a new cpu you can but thats all you

The 3770K is still a darn good chip, obviously CPU's that have newer architectures, higher stock base/boost frequencies and more cores/threads will beat it in both single core and multi-core performance but if you are happy with your current performance level you are at I wouldn't upgrade yet.

The H100i is a very capable cooler, you should be able to get a good overclock with it.

The old h100? Or a new one? 

Either way, I am not a fan of AIO's anymore. Which cooler are you using right now?

That answers your question. Why bother to upgrade if you don't need it?

Honestly if you are playing on a tv you likely are bottlenecked by the 60hz refresh rate way before you cpu so I don't see any reason to upgrade. If anything I would upgrade to a decent monitor first tbh.

So much this. The biggest improvement you can make to your system is a decent monitor. (And an overclock, which is free)

1080p 60hz aint enough for gaming? 

[geo3]

Oh boy! I see you've never experienced 144Hz. It's like going from 30Hz to 60Hz. Absolutely game changing! 60Hz feels awful sluggish to me now. 

 

If I were you I'd get something with G-Sync and 144Hz or 165Hz.

And go for 1440p over 1080p if you can afford to, just keep in mind 1440p 70% more pixels and will be somewhat slower for your GPU to drive that many pixels.

if you have no preference to avoiding air coolers, the d15 is better than AIOs. I have both and i definitely like the d15 alot more, and I don't have to worry about the pump dying.
