Hi guys
So i was wondering if it is worthwhile to upgrade at this point in time or would it be better to wait until later in the year for the latest CPU etc updates to be released? My current PC runs an i5 4690K originally with 16GB ram, but the one stick recently gave up the ghost do down to 8GB. All system components (excl GPU) was purchased in Jan2015.
I have considered jumping the chip up to a i7 4790K and getting some additional RAM again, but given the age of my system was thinking it may be simpler to upgrade as a whole. I generally prefer buying a system to keep for longer periods of time (5-7 years) so would be looking for components that are robust.
What would your thoughts be? Hold on for a while longer, or go for an upgrade, was thinking an i7 9700 or Ryzen7 3700x if upgrading.
Any and all advice, feedback, opinions would be greatly appreciated.
Have a nice day
