So I'm looking to upgrade the computer, bought a 1070 a while ago and am now looking to upgrade the 4700k. Do I get the 8700k or the 8600k? I pretty much only game and general computerizing. Will I need a new motherboard? Will my current PSU work(https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817151118)? I will be getting new ram though. Will my hyper 212 evo work?

Yes you will need to upgrade motherboard to a z370 chipset. Old Ram won't fit that. Your 212 Evo will work. Anything above 500w Psu will be sufficent.

Going to a i7-4700K (if oc'd) to a 8700k or 8600k is not worth it whatsoever

Haswell i7s are still extremely good

Gonna be an expensive upgrade imo

U no 8x00k can oc too

@op upgrade not worth it. Wait for next generation. Better off spending money on peripherals if you have cash you want to burn

Def get an ssd if you don't have one

'i7-4700k' doesn't exist

i think he meant the 4770k, right?

Or 4790k. Who cares tho. Still not worth to upgrade
