Hello there, how is everyone doing?
I'm currently in the midst of pondering the new stage of my pc journey and there are a few options open to me which I'm considering and would appreciate opinion and insight!
At the moment this is my build:
AMD APU A10 6800K Black Edition 4.4GHz
Gigabyte GA-F2A85XN-WIFI
Kingston Hyper X 16GB 2400MHz DDR3
MSI GTX 760 2GB GDDR5
which is housed inside a BitFenix Prodigy Mini-ITX case.
Now this has been a relatively good performing kit, and I can play the majority of games fine however i'm beginning to find new releases - Witcher, Dragon Age ect to struggle, with consistent fps drops to 15-20.
With FallOut 4 in the horizon, and the advent of 4K gaming - it seems like the perfect opportunity to do some upgrading. The question is, what precisely.
I've got roughly 800-1000 available to spend and there are a few options in mind.
A, maintain the board & cpu and upgrade the gpu - buy a 980 Ti
B, new board - go for a 1150 mobo with a 4970K and a 970
or C, go for a 2011-v3 mobo with a 5820k and a 970
Each have different price points of course, however with where I'm 'umming and ahing' is whether it's worth going for a 1150 socket or potentially future proofing my mobo with a 2011-v3 socket...
That being said, do I NEED to upgrade my whole rig for better game performance?
Thanks guys!!
