Help me decide!

I can't decide whether I should upgrade my i5-6600 to an i7-7700K or if I should upgrade my Corsair H60 cooler to a Corsair H115i.

i7-7700K for better performance (Coffee Lake is not an option).
Corsair H115i for better looks (I have a Corsair Crystal 570X case so i think the H115i would fit nicely in there).

Any opinions?

What do you do that is cpu limited? Until you can answer that, I'd say keep saving your money. As for what is prettier inside your case? Who cares. Do you care what color your gasoline is? No. You use it to drive your car.

humm choices, performance or bling, well if you ask 1000 guys,, you will probably get a 50 performance 50 bling, because the under 25 prefer bling

, yes I am teasing..

if those are the choices, 7700K it is.. not a hard decision, you failed to mention issues with cooling.

PS: H60 does not fit 1151 cpu how did you get it to fit in the first place? ref: http://www.corsair.com/en-us/hydro-series-h60-high-performance-liquid-cpu-cooler

The Paladin :

Thanks for your reply!
If a cooler fits on socket 1150 fits on 1151 as well. I've been using my H60 on my i5-6600 for 2 years now, and it works perfectly fine.

But anyways, I think I'll go for the i7-7700K since I can get it for a really good price.

I study media, so I do a lot of editing/rendering in Premiere Pro and After Effects.

In this case you seem and ideal candidate for a Ryzen. Adobe and most other editing/rendering programs benefit considerably from the higher core count. Games don't.

bjornl :

The reason why I won't go for the R7 is because I had to replace my old B150 motherboard for a Z270X this summer as the B150 board was malfunctioning. So I don't want to spend extra money on another new board when I just got a new Z270X this summer.
