Intel 2500k

Is it time already to upgrade the 2500k?

Do you have slowdowns and bottlenecks? No? Then don't bother

I have a 560 Ti which sucks already, but don't know whether to upgrade the graphics without upgrading the cpu would work in my case.

Do you have an incredible need to throw it away for something shiny and new? Feeling empty inside when using that old thing? Yes? Then replace it.

Tbh the 3570k would have been better, you get pci 3.0 which is definitely a step up, also faster ram and faster usb.

Trade off is thermal jizz though, still i think it's worth it. I'm still running a 3570k with my gtx 1080, it's clocked at 4.2 and I've had no real problems to speak of.

Even bought a ryzen 1700 and had no second thoughts about sticking it in my server instead of my desktop, desu the 3570k runs fine, so why replace it right?

So you're saying that just upgrading the gpu would work with the 2500k?

Try upgrading graphics card and see. No harm will be done.

2500k still gives really good performance. Up to a gtx1060 you won't face a bottleneck in games

It will with what I posted
Upgrading your CPU will cost a lot more cause you'll need a new mobo, ram, and possibly cooler

Bought a gtx 1070 a few month ago, probably some bottleneck but nothing that I'm noticing. Waiting for zen+ before considering an upgrade.
