I still have my 4790k too!

I swear basically everyone that bought one just never got rid of it.

Even now I’m thinking “I may need an upgrade… in a couple years”

I know it is due an upgrade... but I can't really convince myself to spend 1000€ on a new rig (mobo, cpu, cooling, DDR5, M.2) when I am still able to do everything I want with this decade old CPU.
