DDR3 Dead ?

[yassine-beloud]

Wanted to buy a 1300€ PC from eBay. Good GPU ( 1080 GTX ), other Hardware was good too.
However : It has a I7 4790K and 16GB DDR3 Ram.
Questions : Is it worth to buy that pc, since I dont know how long it will take until I'll be forced to upgrade the CPU and therefor the Mobo and the 16GB DDR3 To DDR4, which will be quiet expensive ?
-Is DDR3 reducing the GPUs Performance ( especially the 1080 )
-Will DDR3 show reduced Performance towards upcoming games, since DDR4 took over the market a year ago already. ( Yes i am a bit late )
Edit 1 : what do you think, is the 4790K still good compared to the newer ones, like the 6700K

List all the spec of the pc please. Which country do you live in? Do you have a monitor? If so, what resolution and refresh frequency? In general, if with same MHz, ddr3 and ddr4 speed are close. Just DDR4 can go much higher to even 4000MHz nowadays.

System memory affects CPU performance. As long as the CPU is fast enough to drive any given GPU reasonably well regardless of what type of system memory it uses, system memory is irrelevant.

In most games, even an i7-3770k would still be more than fine for a GTX1080. 16GB should also be more than fine for gaming for the foreseeable future.

Thanks, I just hope that those specs will stay strong for the next 4-5 years for such a Price.

Seems fine if the pc is in good condition. However, you'd better buy a new PSU. That unit is not reliable. EVGA SuperNova G2/G3 or Seasonic Focus/EVO are very good PSUs.
