Yes you can run Prey with your system, just keep your expectations realistic https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I8OE-WA4Kkw He s playing at 1080p an getting around 45-60 fps with

Two things to keep in mind here. Destiny 2 system requirements are not know at this time and both games are leagues apart in graphics requirements. Yes you can run both games depending on your in game settings at a targeted 60fps at 1080p. Overwatch we know can run high 60 fps on your...

looking to build me a retro emulator system for my living room. Mainly retro consoles 32bit and down but also want the option for PPSPP, Dolphin, and Cemu later down the road. I dont really care about upgrade paths so the LGA 1150 and AM3+ sockets are no major concern. I already have 16gb DDR3...

Your board will support a fx-6300 with the latest bios. You can buy one knew for around 80 usd or used for about 20 cheaper not sure how that will convert to pounds for you. Phenom x6 is weaker and they can run the same prices or higher now that people are buying to collect. The Phenom X6 1100T...

Just GPU, your system is plenty strong and even going to a more expensive setup like skylake will not net you much of a performance boost. Were talking maybe 5% and only in cpu intensive situations

Go with the 6700K Its a beast of a cpu for gaming and rendering. The other chips are not worth the cost Plus most software and games will be more catered towards the 6700k outside of the professional field

Keep your cpu its an awesome chip. OC to 4.2ghz is usually easy on all 4 cores with out any voltage changes on them. I have a 3570k that runs at 4.2 on a cheap cooler paired with a GTX 980ti thats OC to 1500mhz. If I run the VR benchmarks it well exceeds and beyond in the top charts. I also...

Yes it will run a 1070 no problem as its very energy efficient. As for the 980ti it will be fine also as long as your not heavy OC the card.

In cpu bound games yes it will. See this video below, Eve a 980ti with a newer I7-2600k is bottle necked in some games that are cpu bound and not in gpu bound games. The 1070 is around 980ti performance and the 1080 is above that. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xhuC8Tf9i3I

Get a i7-3770k or a lga 1155 Xeon for your current board. Skylake is not worth the cost to upgrade unless you speciffically want DDR4 Ram or M.2 I upgraded from a i5-3570k to a I7-6700K and it was not worth the cost to upgrade vs getting one of the cpus mentioned above. We are talking...

I have a q9550 with a 750ti and there is zero bottle neck on the gpu in non cpu intensive games. It hovers at 99% gpu in all but GTA V and thats because the game is heavy cpu bound. It hovers around 85%-90% in that game At the price you can get a 750ti now its a worthy upgrade for the q9550

If the card is still under the manufacture warranty then I would go with the 980ti depending on the brand of course. I have EVGA GTX 980 Ti SC Gaming ACX 2.0 with stock clocks of 1102mhz but it easily overclocked to 1300 with boost around 1500mhz. Slight OC on the memory of 500mhz and no...

Have you checked the temps on the 1080. It will thermal throttle pretty hard when it gets to hot. Report back with your gpu temps Also most review site benchmarks have hairworks turned off
