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.

Nice build you got yourself.

As an owner of an Intel i5-4670K myself, I can really see why you wanted an upgrade.



Please excuse my bad English.

Currently gaming on a PC with an i5-4670k@stock (for now), 16Gb RAM 1600 MHz and a GTX 1070
