I am trying to get this system up and running, eventually it'll become my "beater" LAN system. The 4790K is still a really fast CPU, and the difference of cores/threads in new chips won't make a huge difference in gaming (at least for now).It might have been better value (and I agree that $155 is too much) to upgrade to a new platform, but it would have required the legwork of selling my system. I value the convenience more than the time it would have taken to make the sale and find time to pack and ship the parts, then figure out the new system from the ground-up.I'm hopefully going to be building a new, flashy system in 2018. Possibly waiting until 2019 if this system ends up pulling its weight well enough.
