pc upgrade dilemma

[randomusername47263]

i currently have a system with an asrock b250 chipset, an i5 7600, 16gig 2400mhz ddr4 and a gtx 1060.

 

i plan on upgrading this summer and i wonder if it is worth to get a next gen 8600k and new mobo, or just upgrade to a i7 7700?

i also plan on gettin a gtx 1080.

 

can i get some opinions on this?

 

thanks in advance.

If you find your CPU struggling I'd personally go with the 8600k. Going from an i5 4690k to an i7 8700k has been a blessing for multitasking.

The B250 chipset doesn't support overclocking so Z170 / Z270 board would be required for the 7700k anyway. Personally if you find your CPU needs an upgrade I'd go with the 8600k.

yes, i'm aware of that, but i think its kind of a waste of money to buy a z170/270 and a k cpu, because the cost is almost the same if i would get a z370/7800k

also, if you guys would advise me to go 2nd gen ryzen, i would like to hear it

I edited my post  misread what CPU you posted about upgrading to.

why ask here and not on tweakers ? 

 

Als ik jouw was zou ik alleen voor een gpu gaan als je dat echt nodig hebt die I5 is nog niet echt een bottleneck. en trouwens een 1060 is nog sterk genoeg voor de laaste games.... ik zit hier nog met een HD 7950

hahah, because this is a more internation forum

 

because i have an 3440*1440p ultrawide and the 1060 just doesnt cut it.. and when i play ac origins i cant get over 90fps..(i have a 144hz screen)

 

and i plan on playing forza horizon 4 so it probably wont cut is for that game as well..

 

and a friend of mine has a 1080ti and i put it in my system and my cpu was a massive bottleneck when playing ac origins, but that could also be ac's bad optimisation..

IF you do streaming/ rendering or some other kind of work with the cpu then ryzen is for you, if you are just gaming get the intel, you will get 5-10fps more.

i only play games, i stream from time to time but like once in a month for an hour or two so that doesnt really matter..

 

would you then suggest for me to get a new mobo with an 8600k or just get an 7700?

i find when i play rainbow 6 or guild wars or ac origins, that when i alt tab, my pc is very, very laggy.. and my cpu usage is constantly at 100%

Get the 8700k then. The 4 cores of 7700 is too little for streaming and for multitasking too.

Yeah for an ultrawide 1440p the 1060 is a potato, 1070ti/1080 is worth it

Cpu wise I would go with the 8600k so you can hit that 144hz more frequently

alright thanks for the info  do you think an 8700k is worth the 100€ extra over the 8600k?(maybe for future-proofing)?

Persoonlijk vind ik van niet, maar ik ben dan ook een cheapskate hehe

Maar al je echt die 144hz wilt halen is het die 100euro waard
