Hey guys I was considering on updating my entire pc setup. My current pc setup is as follows:
CPU: Intel i5-4460 @ 3.20GHz
GPU: EVGA GeForce GTX 960 SC
PSU: Corsair CX500M
RAM: 16GB DDR3
Motherboard: Lenovo Sharkbay

The main things that I have been wanting to upgrade was my CPU and my GPU as I have had them for a few years now. However, my motherboard does not support any newer CPU models as it only supports FCLGA1150 socket processors. I am not sure about that though as that is just what I have been told by a friend. So I thought I should ask on here, should I upgrade my PC and just get a brand new one with the current series of graphics cards and processors or should I wait until the series 11 GPU's come out?
 
Solution
FCLGA = LGA. You could upgrade the CPU to something better like a 4790k and overclock it. A stock 4790 would be about 20% faster than what you have so it wouldn't be worth it unless you overclocked. 4790k is still fine for gaming at higher clocks these days although it does show it's age in some games.

I wouldn't hold your breath for the new nVIDIA cards. They didn't even talk about their newer GTX cards at their keynote. Summer 2018 would be optimistic. They keep delaying them. If you are not satisfied with your gaming performance (GPU is getting maxed out to 100% in games) then upgrade to a card such as the GTX 1060 6GB.

As you really want both a CPU and GPU upgrade, a new PC is a valid idea. Here's a solid build:

Prebuilts are also a great bargain right now due to high GPU prices like this one although you would want 16GB of RAM and an SSD for a new machine. You could also bring over drives from the old PC to save money if you want to rebuild or the Windows copy if it's not OEM.

Its the Geforce GTX 11 series cards featuring the TURING Architecture.

For the latest news, pricing, Release date and specifications, See the video Below:

Nvidia Turing release date:

Nvidia's Turing graphics cards could be gearing up to launch Q3 2018. A recent report expecting the release to a July launch, with AIBs receiving cards on, or around, June 15. So overall you can expect it to arrive on a late August, early September reveal. Also, SK Hynix is reportedly ramping up production of GDDR6, which Nvidia is also reported to be utilising exclusively with its unreleased graphics cards.

Nvidia Turing specs:

TechPowerUp had just filled in their database using the current rumours and speculated upon the GPU and memory clockspeeds using existing 10-series Pascal frequencies, and it was then presented as a leak by lots of people reporting it online. Check out the video above to see the latest revealed Specs.

Specs: Built on the 12 nm process, and based on the GV104 graphics processor, the card supports DirectX 12.0. It features 3584 shading units, 224 texture mapping units and 64 ROPs. NVIDIA has placed 8,192 MB GDDR6 memory on the card, which are connected using a 256-bit memory interface. The GPU is operating at a frequency of 1475 MHz, which can be boosted up to 1672 MHz, memory is running at 1500 MHz.

Nvidia Turing Pricing:

I think This is where things might get a little tricky, and it’s also where we’ve seen little speculation. With the current segment of 10-series GPUs, Nvidia changed the way they charged for its reference cards by renaming them “Founders Edition”, putting an advanced blower-style cooler and vapor chamber cooling system in them and charging $100 more for it.

So if they do so, This would put the pricing of the GTX 1180 around $699 or eventually you will see the price hiking up from the manufactures rated price due to cryptocurrency craze!
