Should I finally upgrade from the i5 2500k...

Should I finally upgrade from the i5 2500k? I am a """content creator""" so I play a lot of games but also render a lot of footage. However, upgrading to i7 6700k and a new mobo will cost at least $500.

well gee I don't know. Is the increase in speed worth $500 to you?

Make your own decisions for once in your life you fucking millennial

Get a 7700k it's faster than 6700k when the 6700k is oc'd to the same frequency and it will take ayymd 12 years to beat it.

>metric fuck ton of CPU's about to be released in Q'1
>hurr durr i wanna upgrade to le skylek xd
are you retarded?

Or 1 month

Not with that 3.9 ghz overclock

I don't like that thinking, there's always something new around the corner

>it's faster than 6700k when the 6700k is oc'd to the same frequency
yeah like 1%

.t fristrated poorfag who bought skylake

say fuck it, buy Haswell-E and a $1000 ten core i7

doesn't make my statement any less true you dweeb
yeh but you're at the end of the cycle, instead of waiting for 1+year you have to wait for like a month

not in the cpu market
also it's literally two months max. you can wait

It's just like waiting for poolaris, 1 day in and ayymd goes all "hey guis its waznt ment to compete with intel at all its just good for cheap price plzzzzz buy i poo in the street"

you mean kaby? doesn't look worth waiting for imo

>showed a single one of their processors beating a $1000 intel cpu
>they allowed Intel cpu to boost
>their cpu was not allowed to use boost
faggot

kaby is was not what i meant but if op has a 2500k depending one the price a kaby could be better than skylake. Either way I was referring to Zen

Yeah I remember the rx 480 beating the 1080 at their booth on the designated shitting street too

just make sure to not fall for the Another Massive Disappointment(AMD) meme.

>plays a lot of games, must have a decent graphics card
>doesn't use that for rendering instead

Render what? You are a pathetic NEET loser, not a professional. The only thing you will use graphics card on are gayms and watching cartoons

footage, you retard
op said right in the title

I hope I'll have a reason to upgrade my 3570K this year

my man
although i have a 3770k but most games don't make use of hyperthreading

Wait for zen faggot. That's what I'm doing with 2600k. If something decent comes out at a decent price, I'll buy it.

mine is overclocked @4,6 with air. I still have the same damn cooler and everything, haven't even changed the paste. I am seriously impressed with this processor.

while that IS really impressive, i'd at least replace the thermal paste at this point, maybe even throw on a $25 cooler or something

like this guy is $15 right now

I have Thermalright True Spirit 120. Temperatures are 54+ celsius max. I just checked the receipt, almost 5 years old.

oh i thought you meant you were using the stock cooler, my bad man

still might wanna replace the paste though

6700 during black friday for $250 and B150/ B250 chipset mobo for $100
now you can find them on sale because everyone buys kaby

not all codecs support GPU rendering

>$500
Shit. Where do you live? If you live near a microcenter you could get a cpu+z170 mobo for under $450. I got i7-6700k and an asus z170 ar for $410 after taxes in november.

>i remember the rx 480 beating the 1080
it was two 480's you mongoloid. And it was in fucking dx12 of course its gonna win

OP - these are wise words for you!

Why don't you get a 5820k? Its the same price as an 6700k.

seeing they're the same price it's worth it anyway

Seconded, 5820K is op
