So right now I got a i7-3770k and a 670 GTX. I plan on buying at minimum a 870 GTX or maybe a 880 GTX when those come out in a month or two.
But.. has there been a processor worth the money to replace to the i7-3770k? The 2 processors off the top of my head are the i7-4770k and i7-3930k
but is there a processor in the near future (spring time) that will be $300-400 and be noticeably better than the i7-3770k or should I just not even bother upgrading my processor this year (I aint dropping $1000 on a processor to get 5 fps more is what im trying to say)
ps: I hate that this thread is not stickied..

I don't think you need to worry about upgrading a 3770k now
I think the next big upgrade to cpu's will be haswell-e, which will support ddr4. but I don't think they're due out until later this year (Q3?)
I look at it like this... Why bother upgrading the processor if you don't seem to have any issues running games on it?? I'd ride it out for the long haul. I'm rocking a FX4100 that's showing it's age in cpu intensive games but it still works fine most of the time. Your processor is MUCH better than mines and I'm sure you shouldn't have any issues running games. I'd say wait it out. Upgrade the GPU since that's easily justifiable as you can measure and see for yourself the benefits. I'm just waiting for the steam cases to come out so I can just make a switch to that small form factor.

yeah but im one of those people that like to stream AND record games at the same time which can be very processor intensive (not so much now with shadow play) but still very processor intensive. Looks like ill wait till when the new ones come out later this year.
thats what I figured, but ima get that new 870 or 880 gtx for sure when they drop
I tried streaming that TitanFall beta at 1080p while playing it with high settings and it was making my game stutter. Couldn't even stream in 720p eitheryeah but im one of those people that like to stream AND record games at the same time which can be very processor intensive (not so much now with shadow play) but still very processor intensive.

This i5-3570k ain't about that life I guess

in your defense, though 1. your streaming settings were horribly wrong, ill have to help you with that. I made a streaming / recording thread but didnt go TOO far into details. 2. Titanfall stuttered for me after 2 rounds consecutively or so regardless if I was recording/streaming or not.. I want to say a memory leak or maybe it had something to do with the vsync issue @daze23 was talking about. Either way the game rendered like shyt after playing for more than 15 minutes.. and I noticed it usually would start when the map would switch to Fracture but it would never fix it self until you reset the game.I tried streaming that TitanFall beta at 1080p while playing it with high settings and it was making my game stutter. Couldn't even stream in 720p either

I don't mind the size, I expect the games to get bigger as time goes on but I didn't see something of this size while playing the beta. This actually makes me slightly more optimistic about my purchase.
Hopefully it won't be another Ghosts

the beta was around 12 gigs and was only two maps
both 'next gen' consoles have bluray now, so this seems like the trend going forward (at least for 'AAA' multiplat games)
