I have an i5 4670k on the asrock extreme4 z87 board. im either considering one of 3 things
should i stay this cpu and mobo combo, and overclock
should i go a z97 asus rampage vii maximus board and keep my 4670k
or sell my i5 and asrock board and get a x99 board??

i mainly use my pc for gaming/genral use, but am getting into youtube content creation, and rendering

Dude technically that system is perfect for what you want to do and a mobo change won`t give you any performance increase at the moment! You can already OC with that board and run nice games... Just get 16gb of ram and I would say wait for skylake to come out because to go to z97 will not give you anything!

Ok, so if skylake comes out with a new 2011 cpu, should i consider it?? and when would skylake perhaps be out?? i have 16gb ram now, but i either wanted to add 16gb more, or wait till broadwell came out, and went broadwell-e with 32gb ram
