Hello everyone. I’m one of those rare sea birds that in 2023 still rides an i7 2600K OCd @ 4.8 GHz since launch day.
I’ve been poking and experimenting in and out of more recent computers but aside from the GPU upgrade, I haven’t really decided to let my i7 2600K retire.
It’s just that I can’t feel the “fastness” in new builds, however I honestly didn’t spend much time with a current gen high end machine.
Seeing as we are getting closer to yet another generation of AMD and Intel’s, do you guys think it will be worth it?
My full specs are: i7 2600K @ 4.8 GHz Gskill 32 GB 2133 CL10 DDR3 ASRock Z77 Extreme 6 (I swapped an Asus one year after when Z77 was released) 750W Corsair PSU 2x 500GB Raid0 Samsung Evo 2x 500GB Raid0 Crucial MX500 AMD 6750 XT along with a QHD 27" 165 Hz (started with an HD5870, then TO 380 now RX 6850XT)
As everyone else has said if you feel like the speed is fine, stick with it, but before you upgrade your next GPU maybe up that CPU next. I’d recommend going with any AMD X3D CPU that should help your performance the most and maybe it’ll be your next 12 year old CPU if you go x800x3d or higher
