Hi everyone,
I would like some opinions. The itch to upgrade has been really bad lately. I have read so many should I upgrade threads, but still can't make up my mind. If I do, I would only be upgrading the cpu(4770K), mobo, ram and ssd(sata 3); no plans on gpu.
My current system has served me well for the past 3 years and a half with exception of the video card which I got on August last year. I use it mostly for general windows tasks, gaming and some audio/video editing.
Will I see any significant improvements? This putting into account a few things. I'm looking to delid and overclock the 4770K to 4.5Ghz+. I will be moving from a sata2 ssd to a sata3 one, and increase ram from 6gb to 16gb.
If I do end up upgrading, I would keep the 4770K until Skylake or Skymont. If I don't, I will most probably wait for Broadwell or Haswell-e and their respective new chipsets. Maybe get a cheapo 3x4gb ram kit to get me by until then.
