Evening before going in too deep here is my PC.
i5 4690k OC to 4.5 Custom water loop (Haswell)
GTX 1080 Strix
Asus Maximus Hero VII
Corsair DDR 3 Vengance 12GB RAM
EVGA 850 power supply
SSDs all around

Now of course the i5 is pretty old if not mistaken was release around 2013? Any who, i been out of the loop from all the new tech but i been having this itch to upgrade the MOBO,RAM and CPU my question here was if is worth it or not? I play ultrawide (3440x1440) With Asus rog monitor, i can mostly max out all games with solid frames but cant never get up to the 80s or 90s or even 100FPS, whats new out there i think i saw a Z270?
Also i think i might wanna go with the Samsung 950 Pro SSD, not sure if that would make a huge difference
Crazy to think the i5 4690k still $300...its a hell of a CPU and very surprised still running..i had it OC from day one, one of the reason i like Intel.
No budget issue here but of course i wanna have the best bang for the buck with out overspending on unnecessary parts, AND NO I DONT CARE FOR THE AMD Ryzen no matter what ill stick with Intel.
Thank you.
