should I upgrade anything?

[Tijn__]

Some of the upcoming games 2016 are getting heavy sistem requirements
I just like to be save for future games etc
my specs


Processor Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-4670K CPU @ 3.40GHz

Video Card NVIDIA GeForce GTX 970 overclocked to 1504mhz

RAM 8.0 GBdd3 1600mhz

mobo b85-g41 pcmate msi

Powersup Corsair VS650watt

Operating System Microsoft Windows 10 , 64-bit

I think my cpu and mobo/ram could get an upgrade but im not sure about anything

Hello Tijn__,

You do not need to upgrade anything.
Games these days, as you said, are getting system requirements that require a beefy system. Your CPU and GPU are quite good for today, and the 970 is a great card, so even for future games you should be covered! Even high graphic fidelity games like Grand Theft Auto 5 and Star Citizen will run quite smoothly on your system.

Even if your system is not the latest Intel quad-core i7, you will find that in a lot of cases, you won't need that (and the 4760k is a very nice processor, even if it isn't brand new).

Hopefully this helps,
-Nick

You dont need to upgrade anything, you will know when you have to.
Nobody can tell you when you should upgrade, because everyone has different demands of their systems.

The only upgrades I would suggest are an SSD (offers little in gaming performance) and/or if you wanted to, an upgrade to 16gb of ram.

yeah 16 gb would be nice but do i then have to look at ddr4 or just stick with my ddr3 ram...

DDR4 is not available for your processor.

yeah thats what I heard then i would have to upgrade the cpu/mobo/ if i would ho for ddr4... but whats the real differance between the two am I going to need to upgrade ddr4 ram later on or?
sorry for the many questions but i cant find any clear awensers on the web

That's alright! I enjoy helping people.
Yes you would have to upgrade the processor and motherboard to be able to use DDR4. As it currently is, DDR4 brings performance improvements to DDR3, but they will both work as they are currently. As they stand right now, either works. DDR4 is new and thus more expensive, so a RAM upgrade to your current system would be more wallet friendly
