So I just got rid of my i5-4690k CPU, because I was in need of a i7 for streaming purposes - even dual monitor setups with gaming on optimal settings.
My current setup, if I were to invest in an i7-4790k upgrade: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/QRpV2R
As you can see, aside from a few components, the rig is not exactly fully optimized - specifically the motherboard, case, RAM and possibly the PSU (feel free to correct me if I'm mistaken).
Is it worth sticking to a 4790k upgrade, or investing in a potential port to 6. gen, socket-1151 setup? https://pcpartpicker.com/list/LzbV2R as an example.
Right now I'm torn between investing in a 4790k, investing in a bigger, better motherboard and potentially investing in a bigger case OR doing as mentioned above. I heard that the performance increase is only marginal - around 10% if I'm not mistaken - but that it would be a solution that would act as future-proof.
I might have left things out, and for that I am sorry - feel free to pick on my mistakes as you see fit.
For both links, case fans are intentionally left out, before you become worried about the cooling issues, but for the sake of argument, I feel that my case is rather small, especially for my GPU and cable management, so any recommendations would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you all in advance!
