Funny that Belgium struggled more against Japan than Brazil, though Brazil were a bit more aggressive and easy to expose whereas Japan had firm control for a lot of their match.
I'm still running the i7 2600k system I built like 6 years ago or something. Feels like forever. I used to have to do a whole new setup every 3-4 years, so it feels like we've already been there to me.
It's still kickin ass too. I do a small amount of rendering with Premiere but the the times never bothered me. I just do something else for 30 mins.
The only real reason to upgrade a 2600k is for a lot of rendering, very high refresh rate monitors and some newer features like USB-C and better I/O support.
If you upgraded to a recent CPU it will crush the 2600k. Maybe just not in games, which is less to do with the quality of the CPU and more to do with the simple fact that games don't get the same gains that rendering workloads do.
Skylake/Kaby/Coffee all get big gains and the higher core 8700k runs circles around Sandy Bridge for stuff like video editing and batch processing.
WW2 (campaigns) are still going to be boring because no game studio will dare show the story from a German POV, which would be more interesting than "look at us the good allies" for the 121st time.
Show us a German guy going from a typical youth to indoctrinated Nazi. Or women that fought for the Soviets.
Women with bionic arms from countries that didn't have women fighting? Hard pass.
The main improvement the Pro offers is 4k (well, more like 1440-1800P), because the CPU is still not powerful enough to deliver 60 FPS in a lot of games. This is why I always run resolution mode as most framerate modes fail to even surpass 50 FPS and usually hang in the 40s. I would not upgrade just to supersample at 1080P.
