I am planning on upgrading my cpu. My current one is an i5-4670k with an hyper EVO 212 for cooling. My question is whether I should get the 8700k or 7700k? Is the latest and greatest worth the extra little money? My plan is souly for gaming on this CPU. The games I like to play are battlefield and arma3 (if that matters). So, is it overkill to get the 8700k? I just want to make sure I have an amazing CPUs that won’t need to be switched out for a while.

Go with the 8 series. They will require different motherboards though so make sure you get a z370 board for the 8 series K chips.

8700K and Z370.

 

It's not worth it to get Kaby Lake at this point, even Ryzen does better than it in some cases.

I edit my posts a lot, Twitter is @LordStreetguru just don't ask PC questions there mostly...
 

Spoiler

 

What is your budget/country for your new PC?

 

what monitor resolution/refresh rate?

 

What games or other software do you need to run?
