>>58162698
You're obsolete as soon as Zen comes out.

>>58162711

how? the benchmarks i saw are dogshit

>>58162698
Honestly, 5+ years. I have a 2500k in my wife's machine. Installed in early 2012. Unless it just shits the bed I don't any reason to upgrade/replace.

Depends

Are you just surfing the web, running Office, or gaming?

I'm still using a Macbook Air i5 1.8 from 2012. Works perfectly for shitposting, even while running Win7 on Fusion in the background.

how good is going from a q6600 to a i7 6700k?

considering updating now but will new sockets come up soon making it cheaper?

>>58164239
i make music on the computer, and i make animations/edit in vegas, and casually gaming with friends. I wanted to try the new doom and my computer cant deal with it.

>>58164240
No new socket until mid 2018 at the earliest.

fuark seems like a massive upgrade


i wonder if i would be able to load tons of VST and reaktor5 instances in cubase and still get no lag

Several years in and still happy as shit with my i7-3610QM

Generally until most applications no longer run smoothly because of poor optimization.

>>58162698
it would still be stupid for me to update from my goddamn 3570k. you got a while until something significantly better comes out and even longer until programs actually make use of it.

was it stupid of me to upgrade from my fx 8320 to an i7 6700k?

Isn't 8-core i 7-6900k better? Why pick the meme 4 core 6700?

>>58165704
I want to upgrade my MB more than my CPU. But I'll have to buy a new CPU. :/

>>58166217
because the 8 core was 600 dollars

>>58162698
I guess maybe ~3/5 years

Wouldn't update until 32 core desktop cpu's are teh norm,in the same price range as your current 6700k are on the market

>>58162698

probably never unless you fuck it somehow

source: have i7 4771

>>58162805
Same here, my friend.

i7 6700k
32gb ddr4
MSI 7850 Twin Frozr
SSD 500 GB Samsung Evo

Is this enough to run Oculus Rift smoothly?

>intel

>>58162698
Fix your damn grammar first

ZEN is a meme, do not wait for it.

The question is if i7 600k will go down in price.

>>58168596
No.

Also do you even have enough USB 3 ports?

>>58172011
Intel CPUs NEVER go down in price

>>58172028
its a hypothetical build, i have a q6660 and ddr2 computer but i will keep the gpu and psu (enermax 720w so good to go)

what would i need for smooth oculus experiense?

>>58172030
wtf

price and demand makes prices swing howcan they stall the same

>>58162698

10 years. There are still people who use the Q6700

Should've gone for the 5820 instead
