Not really into much of gaming. I only do SC2.
But recently, i have tried Wii U emulator...Zelda BOTW. I only got 25-35 fps (4k res).
35-45 (2k res)
This emulator doesn't fully utilize GPU power. GPU was only around 60%, CPU was at 99%
If i upgrade to 7700K, will i see big difference ?
Or should i just upgrade to 8700K ?
From review, I see 8700K has significant performance gain.
Please, educate me a little.
Apppppreciate it!!!!!!

Yeah, you're CPU bound right now.
You'll see a big difference upgrading to something like an 8700K, but you'll also have to swap out your motherboard and RAM at the same time.
If you're doing this just for BOTW, you're probably better off buying a Switch + BOTW off Craigslist and reselling it when you're done for minimal loss.
