Worth upgrading my rig?

[Phyxia]

Hey hey

 

Just wondering what peoples opinions are on me upgrading my rig. Worth or not?

 

As of today I have:
 

Asus P8Z77-V Motherboard

Intel 3570k CPU

Corsair 16 GB DDR3 1600 MHz memory

EVGA 1080 Classified GPU

EVGA GQ 650W PSU

NZXT x62 Kraken CPU-cooler

NZXT H700i

NZXT 140 mm Aer fans x3

Samsung 850 EVO 500 GB SSD x3

 

What I'm considering is getting a new trio (cpu,mobo and ram). I don't really know which ones to get. Been looking at 8700k, 8086k(for the novelty aswell), and Ryzen. I have no clear must buy, but I'm leaning on the thought of intel again. Currently I'm playing on a 1440p 165hz GSync monitor. Playing games such as WoW, CSGO, PUBG and the occasional GTA:V. The question is, is it worth for me to upgrade my rig? Is my CPU bottlenecking me that much? I haven't overclocked yet and I have a cooler for it but will the extra performance be enough for me not to upgrade?

 

 I've heard alot about as long as you have a 2nd gen CPU and above it's not really that big of a leap, but it's 5 generation improvement(3rd->8th gen). Also it's the forever burning question is it a good time to upgrade? How far long till' the 8790k releases and so on. Thoughts?

Personally I think you should upgrade to the 8700k, and also upgrade your RAM to DDR4 memory because your going to have to get a new motherboard anyway if you do upgrade to the 8700k. But it all depends on your budget.

I don't think you will notice a huge improvement with those games.  I say now is the time to try your hand at overclocking and see what you can do.  Just keep an eye out for deals and if you see a good one jump on it.

noo, personally

since you got a great performer 4c/4t and i think will still be able to handle current games

also DDR4 modules are still expensive so i wouldn't recommend it

I don't have a budget per say, it's more of a question should I upgrade or not. Is the performance increase worth the hassle of upgrading? I love tinkering and buying new parts but if the end result isn't that much of a big deal it renders it moot kinda.

 

For example I had a Asus Radeon 7770 DirectCU and upgraded that to a 1080. That was a fantastic and unreal upgrade, but was expected. I don't expect the same kind of performance jump here, just wanting to get other thoughts if this "jump" is worth the money invested or if I should just wait more?
