After 7 years of faithful service it's finally time to retire the i5-4670k. Just waiting for my new parts to arrive, was a relatively cheap upgrade.
My new build:
Motherboard - ASRock B550M Pro 4
CPU - Ryzen 5 3600
Cooler - Hyper 212 Evo Black
Ram - 16gb (2x8gb) 3600mhz
GPU - GTX 1660 Ti
Case - CoolerMaster Silencio S400
Storage - Samsung 860 Evo 500gb + Intel 730 480gb
My i5-4670k was overclocked to 4.5ghz, so while the new Ryzen will destroy it in anything using more than 4 threads I'm not entirely sure about single-thread performance which was still a beast... hopefully a bit better mainly for emulation sake.
Once games on PC start taking better advantage of higher than SATA speeds I'll shove a gen 4 NVME ssd in there. Probably sometime next year with DirectStorage coming out then.
Even in 2020 though, the only game I ever played that the i5-4670k (OC'd) couldn't manage 60fps in was the latest Assassin's Creed games (origins onwards) which dipped to 45. Amazing how long it lasted.
