January 2016 Build

[Razoir]

Hey ! I've received a lot of help two years ago and was able to make a great build that worked perfectly
(left build). I now have to make a second computer because I'll have to work in two different places for a few years (alternating) so I wanted to know If you could check which part I would ideally need to upgrade.
- Main uses will be coding, game dev, gaming (dont play any FPS or competitive games so framerate doesnt need to be maximised) and drawing.
- Budget is flexible but I guess ideally around 1500-2000 euros ?
Thanks a lot for your help !

Mouse - Logitech G502
Keyboard - K95 RGB
Monitor - Asus MG279Q

CPU Intel Core - i7 4790 -> i7 6700?
Mother board- ASUS H97-PLUS
SSD - Samsung 850 EVO 250GB -> Samsung 960 EVO 500GB?
HDD - Seagate Barracuda 2TB
Video Card - MSI GeForce 970 -> GeForce GTX1060?
Case - NZXT H440
Memory - 2x4GB > 2x8GB
Power supply - 550W Seasonic X-series ( 80+ Gold )
CPU Cooler - Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo

what's the build for and what's your budget ?

 

[genthug]

1060 wouldn't be that worthwhile an upgrade, if you want to see a performance increase would go with a 1070 or greater. But, as above that depends on what your budget is and how that gets worked around.

 

[Hellfire13]

Budget and location please.

Updated the description, sorry !

- Main uses will be coding, game dev, gaming and drawing.
- Budget is flexible but I guess ideally around 1500-2000 euros ?

Budget and location please.

Updated budget, location is Belgium ! Will probably be buying most components from German websites.

User already stated their budget: " Budget is flexible but I guess ideally around 1500-2000 euros ?"

 

[envy14tpe]

So, you want to build a whole new system, right? You said you'll be in two locations. Not sure why you talk about upgrading. Could you clarify?

 

[danny2000]

U.S. $1567 to U.S. $2090 at today's rates. which probably translates to U.S. $1500 to U.S. $2000 budget.

It was edited later on, and not there initially. You came late to the party 😀

Thanks for your answer ! 1080 seems to go just over the limit for me but the 1070 is definitely in the right price range. Budget is flexible but around 1500-2000 euros so it should fit.

This should be a pretty decent and powerful built and last you long. Prices are in PCPP Belgium.

Okay, thanks for the info.

maybe something like this you can go to 32 gigs of ram if needed

Sorry, true it wasnt clear, I thought it would make it easier but it ended making it unclear. I thought Id start from the same build as my current one and just change the parts that needed an update, was pretty happy of it and didnt need to change any part that hasnt been updated. (edit : from the list. This is a separate build just using the same base.)

Prices are higher in Belgium currency. And more RAM is required for game development.

my bad, I thought euros was UK list ( I did say to get 32 gigs if needed )

Niklas_13 and Hellfire13 - Seems great ! Thanks a lot thats a great help !
Will study them today and try to come with a conclusive build.

Sorry, true it wasnt clear, I thought it would make it easier but it ended making it unclear. I thought Id start from the same build as my current one and just change the parts that needed an update cause I was pretty happy of my current build and didnt need to change any part that hasnt been updated.

Honestly upgrading from a 4790 to a 6700K isn't going to make much difference at all. Upgrading from a 970 to a 1060 isn't going to make much difference at all. I'd stick with the 4790 and then upgrade your GPU to a 1080 and then increase your RAM to at least 16GB.

Welcome...cheers...

This is actually a seperate build altogether at a different location. Not a direct upgrade per se.

Sorry, this was a terrible idea ! This is actually an entirely different build. Im just using the old one as a basis. It works fine so I thought there was no need to change anything in the list if it hadnt been updated. But just from the list, not from my computer.
