Im looking to upgrade my current rig- namely the CPU/mobo/RAM. I currently have an overclocked 2500K setup and the GPU is a GTX 980 and runs games well.
I mostly use the machine for gaming but also sometimes use it for computational engineering / numerical analysis software. There have been times, although rare, when the computer gets bogged down.
I was looking at Haswell-E, Broadwell-E, and Skylake. The 6700K is almost the same price as the 5820K. The 6800K is not far off in price. I've been waiting a while to upgrade but Intel hasnt come out with anything impressive so for a while I have been thinking if its a worth it to upgrade but am kind of caving in and am looking to purchase one of those CPUs. If I did purchase one of them, I'd only be be doing a modest overclock. Im also looking for it to be a bit future proof- maybe 4 to 5 years just like Sandy Bridge which has served me very well. Any suggestions?
