What is the reason for the upgrade?

What are your other specs?

What is the performance/experience goal?

I should have put a little more context in my original post - sorry!

I have two setups, my primary gaming pc and my second computer my wife primarily uses for work, etc.

My setup specs:
7700k
GTX 1080
16gb RAM

Second:
i7 4820k
GTX 970
32gb RAM

I was thinking of ways I could upgrade my setup, and I thought about getting the newer i7 chip to basically extend the life of that a little bit, and put the 7700k into my second pc to improve that some as well.

I’m buying a new case and doing some QOL improvements to the second PC as well so I guess it was just a project to tinker with the two setups a little bit. There’s nothing technically wrong with my 7700k, I was just thinking of ways to make it better I guess.

ETA: if I had a “goal” in mind - it would be to improve streaming performance. I picked up streaming a little bit, nothing crazy and no real aspirations, but I heard more cores could help that.
