This i5 as the best value CPU on the market when it came out. The Skylake architecture was leaps and bounds beyond its predecessor and runs super cool. I recently"upgraded to a i7 7700k and am disappointed with the i7 entirely. There literally no useful performance gain compared to this i5 at 4.5ghz which is easily achieved and it costs about £120 less! I wish I kept this and spent the extra money on a better GPU. I think the only time it will be worth upgrading is after PS5 is released as then development will be optimised better for hexacore and above. But for now, a fast quad core is still the sweet spot!
