Experiencing Bottle necking

Haswell (4770/4790/etc) is a few years old now, so might not be worth it investing in an older platform if you can get equivalent or better performance from a new platform at a similar cost.

True, so I guess in this situation I don't have a big option than switch over to ryzen and go from there, and this is not too expensive.
