AMD shutting down the buildings very soon

I've read that going to the i7-3770k isn't worth it coming from the i5-3570k.
I would more than likely get the 4790k which compares higher than the 2 processors that you linked there.
the 4790k will require a new mobo. I was just trying to make a suggestion to avoid that
Steam has added X360/XONE controller support to their controller configurator (in the beta client)

Yeah, it's worth it. If you go the 2 generations old route, you'll save money with the 4790k.
However....that mobo and cpu is pretty outdated. I'd save up and get the 6700k and new ram. You'll be future proof for a few years that way, instead of living in the past.
Truth be told though, if you're not a pc gamer, the 4790k is probably the way to go. (The 4790k and 6700k are pretty similar in speed). You'll save money and not have to buy a new mobo and ram
I have the same processor as he does and I probably will upgrade soon as I want a 1070/80 and new monitor. If those 2 are similar in speed why get the 6700?
To be more future proof. The 4790k mobo is obsolete now. If you wanna upgrade in the future you can't

What you looking at?
Time to upgrade my i5 3570k and gtx 780 is acting a little

Would you recommend this processor? Micro center has 6700k on sale for 299 I'll prolly just pick it up with a mobo this weekend.
I'll pick up the GPU in March after work isn't crazy.
Edit: Is there a reason to buy this vs waiting for Kaby Lake in a few weeks?

I thought Kaby Lake was a microprocessor, not a desktop one. Could be wrong. I haven't really kept up.
I like ASUS mobos, but I'm sure the MSI one will just be fine.

Good looks
all this controller support from Valve really is a game changer. they've just made it so you can (theoretically) play any game on Steam with a 360, X1, DS4, generic xinput, or Steam Controller. all through Steam with no other 3rd party software. people have also got it working with the Wii U Pro Controller via xinput emulation
they've also made all these controllers a viable method for navigating the desktop on a 'HTPC'
Based Gaben does it again
