I have core envy but my 7700k still games well. Haven't been [H] in awhile and it calls to me. Something AMD with quadruple the cores sounds nice.

Basically this.....I can't really answer this... which quad core? I replaced my sons 6600k with a 3700x, so yes, I did upgrade that quad core. My wife's, I did not update. My 2 daughters PC's are not getting upgraded this year. I actually upgraded my 6-core to an 8-core, so not sure if that really counts? And I built a new PC with only 2 cores... so, not even 4 cores... then my other 4-core for my 3d-printer and desktop CNC machine isn't going to be upgraded either this year.... so, basically yes/no?
See, even my server has L5640's, so dual 6-core chips . And those are from like 2011. I may upgrade that to a single 6-core that is faster, lol.Basically this.....
I just recently updated my server from E5-2643 to E5-2637v2. 4c/8t -> 4c/8t with higher clocks, better ipc & virtualization improvements...does that count? LOL
Same, my last cpu upgrade was a Phenom II X6 to a 4790k.Yeah, going from a 4790K to hopefully a 5800x or maybe a 10700K, not sure yet.
I have a 6700K that I delided, which allows me to OC to [email protected]. I can do [email protected]. I see absolutely no reason to buy a new cpu when I play at 1440, which is mostly GPU. Look at the below 1440 summary graph, you will find that most of the mid-higher end cpus are only a few % difference from each other.I have core envy but my 7700k still games well.

My advice for you is that you keep your 7700k, get a rockit delid/relid tool and some TG conducto, and OC the shit out of that bitch. Breathes new life into it, thats for sure. I'll upgrade when 12core 5ghz are $200 and 95 tdp

There's a big difference between stock 4.0ghz and 4.7ghz. with my 5700xt I get 100fps easy in warzone and codIf you're cool with 60 fps, I guess. I definitely can't drive several titles at 120+ fps with this processor.
Warzone drops to 70-80 in a few (honestly pretty rare, though) parts of the map. I am blatantly CPU bound in these cases, at 1440p.
