May 10, 20197 yr Hi all, I have my 6 core 4960 overclocked at 4.6(hyperthreading off),but was wondering if anyone could tell me if it's worth upgrading, and to what chip. I would like more cores,but don't want to spend more than the $1200 I paid for my present CPU. Thanks in Advance!

May 10, 20197 yr How about a 9900K for less than $500? And the comparison to your 4960K: https://cpu.userbenchmark.com/Compare/Intel-Core-i9-9900K-vs-Intel-Core-i7-4960X/4028vs1977 Greg
