Upgrade advice....again

[Alamat]

So, on my sig, I have an i5-6600K at 4.2 paired with a 1080ti. Using an HTC vive on it as well as play other games on it. Doing well actually but I may have $500 to spare (use it or lose it kinda thing). Is it worth it to jump to an i7-8700, new mb, RAM, etc? I know it may end up costing more too....

My opinion, no. If it's "use it or lose it", put it in a retirement account or buy some stocks. If it's a gift card for a place which sells only electronics, maybe then, but I would expect to notice the $500 gone a lot more than the performance gained.

If it's money that must be spent on hardware for some reason, you could consider a video card downgrade to a 1070Ti, and then selling your 1080ti for significantly more than that.

Depending on what you do with the system.

However looking at the fact you have a 1080ti, which tells me gaming... the answer is going to be NO.

Unless you need those extra 2 cores / 8 threads, you wont see any improvement especially in gaming.

A better use for that money would probably be spent on a 2TB Micron 1100 SSD, so you will have plenty of space for your steam library

And when or if you do upgrade, you can always take that SSD with you on your upgrade, so its not wasted capital.

I strongly agree that the OP purchase a 2TB SSD as that will be the best use of his money to upgrade.
