So , im looking at if its worthwhile upgrading my i7 which I've had for a while now.
I currently have a gtx 1070 with it and I cant help but feel that sometimes my i7 holds me back !
Im undecided about an i7 7700(k) or i5 7600(k)
Looking around the web the i5 performs slightly under my current i7 ?! which makes no sense ...
the 7700 performs slightly better in tests on Passmark 9000ish for the old and 12000 ish for the new
the annoying part is, for gaming some sites say that the i7 does have an advantage, whilst other sites have said - stick to i5 7600 :S
to top that all off, I'd need to consider new Mobo and Ram ...
any help would be greatly appreciated - or if you're in the same situation - what are you planning ?
