August 11, 20196 yr I was going to do a new build in January but with Ice lake rumors, I decided to hold off. Now Intel is indicating that ice lake desktop chips won't be out until 2020. Some reports saying it could even be mid-2020 before they are out. Opinions on proceeding with new build now? The cycle is continuous but I figure I build now, then do an ice lake in about 2 years from now. Edited August 11, 20196 yr by avi8tir

August 11, 20196 yr 9700k @5.1 is the best bang for bucks. Hopefully, last a few years. David Murden.

August 11, 20196 yr What do you have now? I've got a 6700k running @ 4.6. Upgraded my GPU to the 2080TI last year and other than having to keep a few CPU-intensive settings like autogen a little lower, I'm still happy with my performance and see no reason to upgrade at this time. I think I'll jump on Ice Lake next year. At that point my current CPU will be 5 years old and of course, I'll want the latest and greatest when FS2020 comes out.

I've got a 6700k @ 4.5 with a GTX1080. I've had it for 3+ years now. Overall, it is a good build. Been really reliable. If I am going to spend anything, I am going to do a complete build and sell my existing to a friend so there would be an offset expense wise.

I have the same hardware and I'm getting good performance at 2560x1440 screen res. I see no reason to change at present - nothing I'm running on it is currently having any problems. Do you need a new system or just want one? I generally don't even consider a new build until my old system really starts to struggle with something I want to run.

Honestly I just want one. really enjoy the build process always nice to have a new look on my desk.
August 13, 20196 yr There will always be something mo'-faster-better on the drawing board for next year. Moving from a quad-core 6700K at 4.5 to an 8-core 9900K at 5.0 is a good step up. P3D makes good use of those extra cores.

I went from a 7700k at 5.2GHz to a 9900k at 5.0GHz. In the vast majority of cases the 9900k has been superior. Single-digit percentage performance difference in single-thread benchmarks doesn't really amount to much but the near 2x increase in multi-thread performance is observable.

August 14, 20196 yr The i9900KS due out soon will run all 8 cores at 5ghz Guru 3D shows a supposed 3D mark run, what it will OC to we will have to wait till the testers get them. Raymond Fry.
