I've been reading some threads about upgrading to a 7700 from a 3770 and they didn't seem very enthusiastic. I had an issue with my CPU heatsink and thought "hey, this thing is 5 years old, time to upgrade!" I have a new system build in my shopping cart, but I am having second thoughts now. I use it primarily for gaming.
Current system:
-3770K (stock speed currently but I honestly don't notice a difference from the 4.4ghz)**
-ASUS Maximus V Formula
-16GB RAM
-GTX 980TI
-1440 monitor @ 144hz
-All SSD storage
I guess I am a little confused how upgrading from ddr3 to ddr4, 5 years of research, and an extra 14 watts projects "meh"
**Actually it has been at 4.2 Ghz for a long time. I forgot that AI suite 2 didn't work in win10 and I changed it in the bios
