Hi,
Presently I have the following set up and am looking to upgrade before end of year;
P8P67 Revised edition motherboard
An i7 2600 - non K version at 3.4GHZ
16GB DDR3 Ram @ 1333 GHZ
Gigabyte GTX 1080 ti Founders Edition.
1000w PSU
1TB Hard drive and 2 SSDs Samsung EVO 250 GB - Windows 10 Home OS on this one, and the other SSD is a 500GB purely used for games.
Fractal R4 ATX case, with 6 chassis fans.
I am contemplating upgrading the Motherboard, ram and CPU and I was wondering what sort of performance upgrade I'd expect to see, and whether this new build would future proof me for a few years to come...
New CPU would be an i5 10600 non K version - No idea on whether to purchase a CPU cooler or use the included Intel cooler, so any advice would be great.
Gigabyte Z490 UD Intel Z490 or an
MSI Z490-A PRO Intel Z490
and
G.Skill Ripjaws V 32GB Kit (16GBx2) DDR4 3200 Desktop RAM
I have always been an Intel fan, so wouldn't entertain any advice switching to AMD.
Thanks for any and all advice, looking forward to your responses.
