Hi there,
My name is Leon, and I am looking for advice to upgrade my system.
The only heavy tasks I use my PC for is gaming on ultra. No other heavy work.
I am not an overclocker, don't really like it. Love turboboost when I need it.
I have build this system 5 years ago and the only thing I upgraded was the GPU.
Here are the specs:
i5-4670k @ stock
Asus Vii Impact (mini itx, but I am going to switch to ATX when I have the chance)
8 GB DDR3 @ 1600 mhz
Asus Strix GTX 1070
Corsair CS650M
Sharkoon ATX case
I game on a monitor with a resolution of 1440p and 165 hz
My wishes:
I would like to have advice on what I should upgrade for better performance in the latest games.
I love to crank every possible setting to ultra but I notice that games get so demanding that I can't do that to every game anymore.
Also what I really like is to play on those high refresh rates. It's really smooth, but it's basically a waste when I am capped to 70 fps due to CPU or GPU limitations.
I'm sorry if this sounds like a first world problem, but I really like to get a lot of performance in my games while complimenting my monitor's resolution and refresh rate.
What would I most benefit from?
An upgrade in Motherboard, CPU and 16 GB of DDR4 RAM? / And then I was thinking about a i5-9600k or Ryzen 7 2700x
An upgrade in GPU? / For example selling my current GTX 1070 and upgrading to a GTX 1080 ti or RTX 2070? for example.
Or upgrade everything?
My budget is around € 600,- and I live in the Netherlands.
Upgrade kits here for an i5-9600k, 16GB corsair vengeance and a gamer MSI motherboard is on sale now for € 471
Also some graphics cards are on sale too, but I can't figure out what a better upgrade would be.
I have financial limitations to do both.
Thank you so much for reading, and I am looking forward for your reactions.
Have a great day,
Leon.
