Board that accommodates 3200MHZ processor
Consider replacing the board and upgrading the processor. Ideally, go with a 7700k or similar. Dispose of the old one and invest in something current.
You own a 7700k and an 1660 Ti, with your only PC component yet upgraded being this board.
Really, I thought a new update would speed things up... but it didn’t.
You should consider a Z170 with the latest BIOS or a Z270. Check if your RAM is 1x16 or 2x8; if it's 1x16, think about getting another stick since single-channel performance on Intel systems isn't ideal.
I’d just keep the cash, you’re seeing a max 10% gap. Used parts come with risk for a minor upgrade, while new ones probably won’t be affordable because they’re no longer supported.
