Hey everyone,
Huge dilemma here. after nearly 9 years of rocking this GTX560Ti i finally feel its in need of replacement.
I have my eyes on a GTX1070 right now, thx to mining and inflation I might just go with a 1080 instead since its only about €150 more right now compared to a 1070.
Anyway, right now I game on 1080p, so this 1070 will be more then sufficient.
But i'm looking ahead aswell. I read a lot about bottlenecks on a 2500k (I have mine clocked @ 4.4 atm) even with OC.
While in 1080p this will probably non existing, I DO have plans to also ugprade to 1440p.
To ensure a better future proof option I feel no other choise but to ditch socket 1150 for good and move up to something new.
Now here's where my dilemma kicks in.
So yeah. i did some quick pricechecking and here are some of the options i have:
No AMD prices as i'm not sure what mobo is good and what cpu is good.
Feel free to suggest models. but please don't bother with amazon links because prices will be much different in EU
TLR : Looking for replacement for my 2500k. Do i go with socket 2066 or socket 1511. Do i go for i5 or i7? What about AMD? This will mainly be used for gaming on 1440p monitor

Now here's where my dilemma kicks in.
- 2066 is about to release any moment now (pre order available in my country), but the motherboards are expensive af...
- I hear a lot about some ryzen cpu? i take it this is amd. I've had terrible experience with my AMD tho so it'll have to be really convincing
- Then there seems to be some major form of praise for the 7700k, but this is socket 1511. will this still last for a long time?
So yeah. i did some quick pricechecking and here are some of the options i have:
