Sell these parts I just got for a new Intel build?

warup89 · Sep 28, 2017

Hey guys,

I recently upgraded from a 3930k/32gb ram/256gb 850pro to a 7700k/16gb ram/1tb 960pro, due to not using my PC for work anymore (for now) and just web browsing, online homework, and very light gaming.

I recently saw that the 8700k will be out very soon and was wondering if I should sell my current system, and go for this new Coffeelake CPU (while keeping my 850pro since going Nvme doesnt show much improvement in my eyes) in case I use my PC for work again, which at the very most consist of running a couple of VMs.

If you have the cash and don't mind the losses why not...
Personally I don't think I would do it.

I was even thinking of waiting for cannon lake(?) since I know this 7700k will hold up decently till then but I believe I will get the most money back if I sell my current hardware now. Nevertheless, I don't know if it worth doing it now for the extra cash.

Same. My 7700k will last for quite awhile. Let prices drop before jumping at least. And the 960pro is pretty much the best, is it not? And even if nvme doesn't seem like there's improvement (it is), what else are you going to do with an nvme slot? Use them.

True, waiting to see results and overclock would be a good idea since that's another factor I look for. Ssd wise, there's a difference just not as noticeable, but then again I haven't use it to its full potential.
