Asrock extreme 7+, i7-6700k? or get 8th gen parts?

LTVETTE2 · May 19, 2018

I am finally ready to a hew build, but Intel has jumped 2 generations since I got all my parts (2 years ago) Is it better to sell off old parts, and buy a coffee lake 8700k and a Asrock Tiachi 370? I already have 32gb ram and a couple of NvME drives, case, PS and win 10 pro. So my costs will be about +$550 to go up to date, and I may get decent money on the skylake and 2 asrock mobo's I currently have. Also have a Tiachi 270 mobo. Had to buy stuff to get a rewards bonus back then. Thank you for the privilege of your time and knowledge, and hope I can resolve question prior to building, Larry

It all depends on purpose of your build. What is intended use of it?
Will it have any benefit of extra 2 cores/4threads or not.

If you intend to do heavy multitasking, video encoding, game streaming, then yes - Coffee Lake upgrade might be beneficial.

It will be a system where I do multitasking and some video editing. Also my AutoCAD LT system, using a 4K monitor. If I can away without a video card, that would be a plus, but I am also thinking of a 1060 card. It will be a "business system", so no gaming will be on there.

Then yes, you might benefit. But you also might check the Ryzen 2700X, which is about or less price and perfect for multitasking and gaming.

I'll look into it. some of my systems are AMD. I seem to have better results with Intel....But AMD forced Intel to up their line up sooner, which is good for us
