Hello.
So,after buying GPU (gtx 1060 6gb) im wondering if upgrading my CPU is worth it..current is i5-4570,around 3 years of usage,never OC'ed.Im thinking of i5-7600k,but i cannot find a comparison between them..how much % better is the 7600k vs the 4570? is it worth it?

According to Passmark, the 7600K has about 10 percent advantage in single threaded performance. Depending on what you do, it may or may not have a big effect on everyday tasks. Of course, overclocking will make a bigger impact since the 4570 is locked. I would stick with the 4570 as long as you can do all the things you want with it. Upgrading in your case would also include a new motherboard and RAM.

Agree with BadActor, 4570 should be enough for gtx 1060.
What you can do is to play different games to check if your gtx 1060 bottleneck your 4570.
However whatever u decide wait for amd zen to come out, it may be cheaper and better!

Your not going to see much of a difference in gaming or normal usage. If your using benchmarking software you will see a difference there of about 10%. Not really worth upgrading. If you go the i7 route then it would be worth it due to the hyperthreading. No real need to upgrade at the moment. You do have one benefit with the k version, you can overclock it easily. If you don't plan on overclocking then it isn't worth it. In my opinion.
