So I've been running an old i7 920 rig which I recently slapped a Corsair H110 in, and run stable at 1.4v / 4.6Ghz topping around 73C avg. I was considering an upgrade to a newer chip like the i7 4790K (not too familiar with how these OC, but I'm guessing I could get it to at the very least 4.6Ghz as well). All I really do on this rig is gaming and some light music production. I plan to upgrade my 780 to a 980ti soon. My question is, are the performance gains worth the cost of a new mobo + CPU? Will my current setup bottleneck the 980ti?
