Okay guys. I need a little help here with some possible upgrading of my gaming PC. I am thinking about upgrading my CPU and along with that my MB. Currently I have a i5-3570k that can handle a large portion of the jobs thrown at it and my MB is a ASRock Extreme 4 Z77. It's an older model, but when it was built the parts were their new version.
I don't HAVE to upgrade, but I am looking to do that now as usually you want to upgrade every 4-5 years. I already upgraded my GPU to a GTX 1070 FTW. Next is the CPU and MB. I am currently looking at the i7-7700k and the i7-8700k. I was wondering if anybody has any thoughts on which I should go with? I know the 7700k has been a great processor, but the 8700k has 2 more cores and their MB's come with USB 3.1 which is twice as fast as 3.0. Any thoughts fellers?
