Should I sell my 4790k rig and get 1700?
Hello guys.
I have a 3-4 years old pc. My main specs are as follows
Intel i7 4790k OC'ed to 4.7Ghz
MSI Z97 G45 Gaming
Crucial 16gb (8x2) 1600Mhz
Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo
XFX Radeon RX 580 GTS XXX Edition 1386MHz OC+, 8GB GDDR5
...............
I can get the following specs for roughly 458$ (New from Newegg) and aim to OC the 1700 to 3.9Ghz to get a near performance to my current cpu in single core and try to get near 2700x in multi core for the very very cheap price.

So the question: I can roughly sell my current parts for 350$-400$ max (not selling the GPU, I will keep it and pair it with new system if I got one). Is it really worth it to pay the extra $$$ and upgrade to 1700? is it better to sell now than later?? Is it better to upgrade for futureproof? Or my current rig is ok? The thing is, I kind of dont want to pay any premium even for ryzen 3XXX. I want price/performance that lets me play games 1080p and can push me a couple of years without upgrading for lots of $$$. So either I upgrade for this food deal or no upgrade. Thats why, the parts of 1700 is on a really good price and wanted to get your opinion.
