Would it be worth upgrading from my i7-970 @ 4.3ghz to a 4790K? I know it's a decent performance improvement, but would I see much benefit in gaming performance? Or should I at least wait to see what skylake offers before deciding?
I originally wanted to upgrade to a 2600K or 3820 back in the day, but wasn't impressed with the benefits per benchmarks.
If YOU were in my position and played games like heavily modded skyrim, blacklight, dirtybomb, CS GO & warface, would you think now is the time to upgrade? Money is not an issue, but I wouldn't upgrade to a 5820K or 5930K to see even slightly less improvement over then 4790K for more money. The tower I'm upgrading never does anything but play games. Once in a blue moon there will be some heavy file compression, but speed isn't an issue with that.
