Ok, thanks for the info!

Ahh yes that looks like the reason why! Do you know if there's a difference between the smaller and bigger GPU's though? Are the 'mini' variants of the same card worse? Thanks!

https://www.newegg.ca/p/pl?d=6700xt We're talking over $300 price difference for the same card. Is this just because of the gpu pricing craziness that we've had over the past couple of years or is there a valid reason? Any reason not to go with a $559 card vs a $850+ card? Is there a...

Ya and since they don't, I'm informing him of an alternative that he may not know about. Relax and take a deep breath.

OK.. So what was your point?

You can get a HUD that shows your hardware usage in real time while you play by downloading HWinfo and MSI after burner. Tutorials on YT on how to set it up.

Agreed 100%. Switching to another 4th gen intel, especially a 4690k is pointless. I'm looking to upgrade my 4670k Aswell, possibly with a ryzen 5 3600 or something. That I feel like would be a nice upgrade.

Ok added a pc part picker link. As for the monitor, I mainly want to get over 60 hz but don't want to be limited by just 75hz. Games like R6 Siege should be doable over 75 hz for example and that's my main game. Might as well get a high refresh rate for those games where I can get 100+ fps and...

Current system i5-4670k GTX 1070 16GB DDR3 ram I'm planning on getting the following products and keeping the GPU; https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/list/yGDPjy Individual links cpu https://www.newegg.ca/amd-ryzen-5-3600x/p/N82E16819113568 ram...

I'm also looking to upgrade my i5-4670k. Torn between the 3600/X and 9600k. I was under the impression that games don't use HT/SMT so I was leaning towards intel for slightly higher ipc. Do games actually use HT/SMT these days? I haven't been following since 2014 when I built my 4670k pc.

What's your budget? Are you looking for the latest cpu from intel or amd (which would require a new motherboard) or must it be the 1150 socket?

Ok thanks!

I'm in the same boat as you. I currently have; i5-4670k @ 4.4 Ghz GTX 1070 16GB DDR3 ram I'm gonna keep my 1070 for at least a few more years (I game at 1080p/60hz for now but will upgrade at some point) but I do want a future proof high end cpu. Of course that means a new mobo and a switch to...

So I'm looking into upgrading my CPU from an i5-4670k to a newer i5 or i7. I'm wondering since chipsets keep changing, will my old cooler master hyper 212 evo still be compatible with a 9th gen CPU and mobo? It seems like all that matters are the mounting hole locations but do those ever change...

Were all those device turned on while switching?
