Hey everyone I'm hoping someone can help me here. I currently own a 4690k @ 4.5Ghz, ASUS ROG Maximus VII Hero, 8gb 1866Mhz ram, and EVGA 980Ti SC and play at 1440p 96hz max settings. My issue with performance comes from when I start multitasking while gaming. I run two monitors. On my second monitor I always have my browser open with a Twitch stream, YouTube, or Netflix with having a few other tabs open. I also run voice and music programs.
I think the best way I can describe my problem is I get a slight microstutter in my games when I have all those things going.
So I'm wondering if getting another 8gb or ram will fix what I'm experiencing or if I should upgrade to a better cpu that can handle multitasking better? Or both?
For cpu upgrades I was considering two options. 1) Upgrade to the 4790k and save a ton of money by not having to upgrade my mobo and ram to DDR4 . 2) Get Ryzen 1600x as that has about the same or better performance than Haswell but amazing at multitasking, and as more devs start to utilize more than 4 cores these will really start to shine, but I'd have to buy a new mobo, ram, and most likely a new AiO since I'm not sure if my h80i will work with AM4.
I would be able to recoup a good amount of money by reselling my current build which would offset the price for a new set up a bit.
Hopefully someone can tell me the best route to go, any help is much appreciated.
