Hi guys.
I plan to upgrade my cpu end of this year and just want to ask what do you think about this. Will this be a huge difference in real life (games) or do you advice me to wait a little more? My current cpu is the Xeon 1230v3@3.3ghz (4 cores, 8 threads with hyperthreading), which can't be overclocked. I play any sort of Steam games on 1440p/165hz monitor with a GTX 1070 and sometimes some emulator games, which requires a lot single or double thread power. I also want edit photos and videos like I did when I build this machine. The Xeon processor I have is comparable to i7 4770@3.4ghz.
Upgrade current
Xeon 1230v3@3.3ghz (4 cores, 8 threads with hyperthreading)
To
i7 8700k, with the ability to overclock it and also DDR4 2666
What can I expect from this? I want slightly overclock. I think I will buy this, change my cpu, mobo and ram. Do you think its worth to wait it or even wait longer? I know the cpu is not out, but some leaked benchmarks with comparison to last gen gives first hint.
