I have a 6yo i5, I'm about to upgrade. Its interesting the the main reasons are NVMe and graphics for a 4k monitor, the extra CPU speed is just a bonus.

- onli 8y agoYou probably do not need to upgrade then. You can use NVMe over PCIe and just swap out the graphics card.
- rb808 8y agoOne problem is my bios can't boot from that.
- loser777 8y agoI am still on a 4.3GHz 3570K at home (holding up pretty well after some minor mechanical/percussive maintenance revived a dead memory channel caused by a flaky CPU socket). I'm eyeing 3rd Gen Ryzen later this year but for now upgrading from 16GB DDR3 to 16GB DDR4 doesn't seem cheap ;).

- LUmBULtERA 8y agoDDR4 RAM prices have fallen a lot lately. There are sales for 2x8GB sets for around $90 now, with 32 GB sets coming in under $200 as well.
