Rebuild About to Start

[crwmbrnmb12]

I am wanting to Start a Rebuild on my PC. Here's what I have now

Thermaltake GT10 Case

ASUS Maximus V EXTREME LGA 1155 Intel Z77
Intel 3770k I7
32gb 2133 MHz Corsair Dominator Platinum
Raystorm 240 Custom Watercooling
860i Watt Corsair
Just ordered a EVGA 980ti Hybrid
2 240 GB SSD one for OS and one for other Programs
1 2TB HDD for Files

My question is, what would you guys go with to be able to be mostly up to date in the next 3 or so years. I'm thinking the RAM, GPU, SSD/HDD and Water cooling should be good. What MOBO and CPU would you go with considering that budget isn't the biggest factor, i Don't want to spend a ton but I dont want to be in the Scratch and Dent section either.

Honestly. that PC you have looks perfect to me. I have no clue why somebody would ever want to upgrade.

I know there is the new Skylake and DDR4 and people will tell you that you need to upgrade and you shouldn't listen to them.

i7-3770K and a GTX 980 Ti? WTF else do u want, m8? The only real thing you could do is to get a high quality PSU.

Maybe I need to put in the 980ti tomorrow first and see what it does. Even on Iracing I'm not able to Play max settings. I'm coming from a 660ti to the 980ti.

What's wrong with a Corsair PSU

There is a huge difference between 660ti and a 980ti. It's like eating a $5 combo at McDonalds and then going to the nearest restaurant for a T-bone stake.

You will see a huge difference. The old i7 is still kicking ass and compares to modern day Intel CPUs.

There is nothing wrong with it but it's an older build and if you would give me the actual model, I can tell you if it's high quality or not. PCs usually get destroyed because of the PSU. That's why you gotta make sure it's high quality and won't fail and bring other components along with it.

It's the AX860i

Alright, you are good. That power supply is made by Seasonic and is rated Tier 1. You're good. Honestly, there is nothing that will be worth an upgrade if you want to game. Your current system + 980 Ti will play anything perfectly fine.

You're good.

Make sure you clean your case and components from dust though
