New build or upgrade

[dean.plummer88]

I have a budget of £650 to upgrade the pc or build a new one.

Currently it's a i5 4460, 16gb ram and a NVIDIA GTX 770.

In the budget I also need a monitor as well, so in theory do I put and i7 in, and a better Gpu.

Or maybe go new i5 or Ryzen. I have an Atx case, psu, ssds and Os.

Forgot to mention it's for gaming, Web design and light video editing and streaming.

If it were me....I'd go with just a GTX 1060.

The processor is fast enough to play any game.
Your memory is fine.
You have an SSD.
If you put in a 1060 you will be able to play pretty much any game on 1080p at max settings at around 60Hz.....so that's what I would do....and then buy the monitor.

You would need new ram to support a new i5 or Ryzen. You are going to get more gaming performance, upgrading to a new graphics card. Streaming, you are going to want to go Ryzen 5 1600, or better.

Thanks Jay I was just concerned that everything is going hex core and games will start demanding more.

Games you would be fine with even an i7 4790, or comparable E3 Xeon 1230v3, or better. Streaming gameplay might prove challenging though.

At the moment I wouldn't be real concerned.

Here's an example.

Less than a year ago I had a rig....i7-920 (multithread passmark score 4933) with a 1060 6GB.
This rig could play any game out there on max settings at 60Hz at 1080p.
Your I5 has a multithread passmark score of 6705....so you would be in good shape.

So you would go Ryzen over say a 4790k and a 1070?

For gaming, no. Keep an eye out for deals on 1070ti. Sometimes they are priced similar to the 1070, here lately.

OK I think I might stick with Haswell for now then makes sense really for gaming. I can live without streaming, as long as Photoshop and illustrator perform well that would be good.

Isn't the 1060 only 1 tier higher than the 770? Would there be much noticeable difference in going from 770 to 1060?

The 770 is about equal to a gtx 960/1050ti. The 1060 6gb, is closer to a GTX 980.

I think the difference would probably be noticeable
770 passmark score 6082
1060 passmark score 9607
