unless you're on a budget, I think it'd always be better to upgrade as much stuff as you could just so you don't get caught in a fix where you have to look for configurations that aren't being made anymore |
| Renderman In A Bowl:
If you want a i7. Save up and get the latest i7 8700-8700k and get a z370 motherboard. You probably wouldn't upgrade in a couple of years anyways so the last chip of the platform wouldn't forget you up at all. |

Well I can't update my motherboard right now, it would be a pain in the ass because my power supply has giant ass cables that are all messed up in the computer case. I'm just gonna look for an lga-1150 compatible i7, and if I can't convince my brother, then so be it. |

That's far more than getting a used 4770 or 4790 costs. Even if you get the cheaper i5-8400 you're still going to be around $400, and that's not even taking the stock issues into consideration. |
