I will have $600 to spend real soon. Now I want to know would it be worth it to get a Core i7 5775c with some of it? My 4770K only clocks to 4GHz stable. Anything higher gets me occasional blue screens. The 4770K might be hard to sell too though. I delidded it and nicked the pcb a little. Not enough to hurt anything but it looks bad still.
GRID: Autosport on GTX 980
Core i7 6700K at 4.8GHz scores 173FPS
Core i7 5775C at 3.3GHz scores 176FPS
Alien Isolation on GTX 980
Core i7 6700K at 4.8GHz scores 178FPS
Core i7 5775C at 3.3GHz scores 180FPS
Total War: Attila on GTX 980
Core i7 6700K at 4.8GHz scores 35FPS
Core i7 5775C at 3.3GHz scores 35FPS
Grand Theft Auto V on GTX 980
Core i7 6700K at 4.8GHz scores 73FPS
Core i7 5775C at 3.3GHz scores 74FPS
Shadow of Mordor on GTX 980
Core i7 6700K at 4.8GHz scores 99FPS
Core i7 5775C at 3.3GHz scores 100FPS
It beats the Core i7 6700K in gaming even with the 6700K at 4.8GHz. Amazing I think and it does it consuming a lot less power too. I got my numbers from anandtech. I think I want this CPU even though I might not technically need it. Would it be worth it to do this? I just don't know myself. At the settings I play at I think my GPU is the bottleneck anyway.
