Should I change my pc, looking to the future?

[AC1N0NYX]

I'm in the thought of upgrading my gaming PC to the new 6700K/6600K Skylake with a 970 and DDR4. It's a little bit expensive, but i'm thinking on it like a durable configuration. That's my actual configuration (2012-2013):

Case: NOX Coolbay Devil
CPU: AMD FX-8350 Black Edition, Socket-AM3+
CPU cooler: Cooler Master Hyper 412S
Motherboard: ASUS M5A97 EVO R2.0, Socket-AM3+
Memory: HyperX Fury DDR3 1600MHz 8GB
Video card: Sapphire Radeon7870 GHz Ed 2Gb
HDD: Seagate Barracuda 3TB 7200
PSU: Tacens Radix VI 850W PSU

What do you think?

Sorry my bad english, I'm learning! Thanks anyway!

The very first thing you should do is to get rid of that PSU.

I'm agree with you to do not pick another tacens in the next configuration, but that's not the very important answer to the question

Totally agree with you, but I'm still doubting about get a skylake/970 system or wait 🙁

 

[Karsten75]

My thought is that if you don't have a pressing need, and you feel the Skylake processor is a touch pricey, then I see no reason to do it now. Your PSU is a hazard more than anything. SO replacing that, and then perhaps upgrading your video card may give your current system a bit longer life and then at some point in time in the future, when you have saved a bit more, then get the mobo, RAM and Skylake processor.

But, maybe give the system a little bit more life is too much expensive, new psu, new vga, probably a ssd, maybe use the money on build a new configuration is a better option, I don't know :/

Yep, new PSU, SSD and maybe another 7870 in Crossfire would give that system a lease on life.

 

[AC1N0NYX]

But a new psu, ssd, and another 7870 may cost me around 400 (or even more). My idea was change the motherboard (and RAM), the psu, the cpu, and maybe waiting a little bit more, the vga. With this my idea was to build a durable pc, maybe more expensive, but a lot more durable.

Well, if you really want to build a completely new build you are looking at something like this: (The 7870 price is made up but they run about $100 a pop from where I've looked.)
