Question on my 4770K System - Worth an Upgrade?

Featured Replies

Folks,

 

I have the following system running FSX:

 

Intel i7 4770K overclocked to 4.2GHz (That's the absolute limit on my chip, and have not been able to get a higher overclock)

Asus Maximus VI Hero

eVGA  GTX 780

G.Skill Trident X 8GB

Custom Liquid Cooling Loop

 

 

My motherboard will support an i7 4790K, and I'm wondering if there is an appreciable difference between say 4.2GHz and 4.6GHz provided I could get the 4790K to overclock to that speed. Is it worth the 300 bucks to upgrade?

 

I'm grateful for any advice!

Definitely not worth it, would be a waste of money

You would be ditching 330 bucks. Keep your 4770k...
