Well, I decided to split the difference. I ordered 12GB of memory, a 1TB Muskin Reactor SSD and an Asus MG278Q monitor. If AMD cuts prices week after next, I will pick up 2 Sapphire Fury to give him one, and put a second in my system.
The new monitor at a higher resolution should take some load off the CPU and put it on the GPU.
Oh wow, I completely forgot there was a line between Core and Sandy Bridge
From past release cycles, there had been 1 year on average between Core i generations with each socket being occupied by one tick and one tock architecture.It's not uncommon to forget. The gen only stayed current for about a year at which point most upgraded to sandy bridge. I had an oc'd i5 750 up until 9 months ago and it still played games that were too much for core2 quads.

Such as
1156 Lynnfield -> Clarkdale
1155 Sandy Bridge -> Ivy Bridge
1150 Haswell -> Broadwell
1151 Skylake -> Kabylake
Why so? Started with lynnfield in mid 2009 and broadwell and skylake were released one after another last year that means 7 years of mainstream core i which satisfies the basic arithmetic.If that's the case then it must still be 2012.
