Need Help *Upgrading

[Derekkawaii]

Hi, I need your opinion and suggestion on this. I'm planning to upgrade my computer currently I have the following specs below:

Gigabyte z170x gaming 5
6600k i5
1050ti 4 gb

I used to play League of Legends and Dota 2 only.

Recording or Streaming

Currently with my current job I need to do a lot of photoshop and rendering so my plan is to upgrade first my motherboard and processor to Ryzen 2700x with MSI X470 gaming pro or x40 gam8ng ack M7. And I will upgrade my gpu to 1070ti or above with regards to the gpu with the mining craze it is a lot expensive now a days but I saw someone selling a 1070ti for around $360 to $380 however it was used in mining for 3 months.

Its either I go with the mobo and processor first or I'll go with the gpu used or brandnew.

Thank you all for your help.

Just to add seeing ryzen has more futureproof than intel I think with that being said it will work for the next 2 to 3 years.

Great choice and sound upgrade prioritization and upgradability. An M.2 NVMe SSD 250GB and above system drive to take advantage of the PCIe 3.0x4 transfer bandwidth, coupled with a storage SSD (as 2.5 SATA or as a second NVMe PCIe) or a fast 7200 RPM mechanical HDD, without omitting a nice set of 2x8 GB of DDR4 3200 MHz and above would help greatly smoothen multitasking /streaming/ recording experience.

See if you can wait next gen gtx1170 coming soon.
Also buy nvme ssd.later this year, condidering price

Your i5 pc is still a decent pc, suggest you keep both rig running

i doubt 11 series is coming soon. My bet is end of year, at the earliest.
Need now, buy now

Or maybe i can still save up more money then if thats the case?

Just to add i already have an ssd 500 gb from samsung evo but i dont have an m.2

 

[fredfinks]

well if you dont have cash now then thats certainly a factor. Just wanted to point out that these new cards are more than likely going to appear much later than people currently think

More than enough speed and storage for your purpose, you could upgrade later to an M.2 NVMe if you wish.

What i mean is that if my board and processor still good i will wait for the latest gpu then. Otherwise i go buy the ryzen 2700x and x470 board from msi. What do you think?

 

[fredfinks]

oh i see you have only a 1050ti now. geez man get the GPU.
6600k isnt that bad.

When you want later on upgrade the cpu & gpu

Probably next month i will upgrade my gpu then and before november this year i already upgrade my mobo and processor.
