So for an i7 cpu should I stick with the 7700 or just say screw it and spend a few more dollars and get the 8700

If you are building a new rig, there is no reason to us the 7700. That socket is done.

 

[Marijn M Brouwer]

Screw it and donate money to charity?

 

[Lewis Kiltie]

youll also need a new mobo

 

[Jeremy Esela]

Already have a MoBo picked out just need some advice on the CPUs

 

[Lewis Kiltie]

both cpus require different mobos

 

[JP Willardson]

if youre starting new and dont have either, then you should get the 8700k, if you already have the 7700 just stay with it. Theres 0 reason to upgrade.

 

[Cole Fenner]

The 8600k is better than the 7700k

 

[Steven Marshall]

8700k. Even if you have to save and wait a month. It’s worth the extra money long term.

 

[Eni Odurinde]

You'll have to go with the 7700 if you've already got the mobo, the two sockets are not compatible and the performance difference doesn't justify the purchase of a new motherboard

 

[Jeremy Esela]

So I think I'm going with the 8700 lol. Sorry guys kind of dumb question, but still don't hurt to get other people's input.

 

[Kevin Kurniawan]

ive heard even intel didnt recommend OC the i7 7700k because its hit 100c something.

 

[Thomas Dominy]

8700

 

[Raphael Matthew Santiago]

8700

I chose 8700k and I have to say one thing - I’m impressed after upgrading from 4790k
