What should I upgrade first?

[a112bc211]

I don't know what to upgrade next. I have been offered 4k freesync screen for good price. Before that I was thinking buying ryzen 6 core. I have money at the moment only for one upgrade. I have 2 fhd screens now, so probably one stay if I buy 4k. So 4k now and gpu later or ryzen now and gpu later and 4k sometimes even later. Give your thoughts. I live in Finland.

I5 4440
Gigabyte z97x sli
16gb ram
Msi Gtx 770 twin frozr
Cooler master v1000
Kingston v300 ssd
Wd blue 1tb

Thanks ☺️

Why would you even consider buying Zen when their no benchmarks out for their performance.
For gaming if you get a 4K monitor your GPU is really going to struggle.

Your CPU will struggle as well for 4k gaming, But as what Zerk said, I disagree about why thinking about buying a CPU before benchmarks. So many people bought kaby-lake CPU's before any benchmarks hit. From what I've seen Ryzen looks very promising. But yeah if you get with Ryzen you will need a new motherboard and new RAM, so it's not just a single upgrade like you stated above. But yeah you will also need a better GPU for 4k game play. If you want to just stream netflix on it then your system will work completely fine.

I meant that I'm just thinking it if it's good. Not like pre ordering. And yes I know that for Ryzen I need mobo and ram but I was thinking that as one upgrade. Sorry for that. How much would my cpu struggle at 4k?

 

[Kavinqt]

it depends do you mean 4k gaming or 4k streaming? for gaming, I gotta say GL. It won't do to well. I'd say a i5-6600k is minimum, but recommended i7 with at least a gtx 1080

Even the gtx 1080 struggles to keep a steady 60 fps in modern triple A titles. To be able to run 4k gaming is going to cost you a lot of money in hardware, that will just need to be upgraded in 3-5 years. In my opinion, 4k gaming isn't yet justified when it comes to price to performance and the average gamer. I'd suggest not purchasing a 4k monitor and use this money towards a new computer build, after you've researched Ryzen's benchmarks.

I would probably get a nice 2K monitor that is still the sweet spot unless you can but massive video cards. The cards are stll not up to the 4K resolution yet might be next year.
Sell your processor and pop in a i7 4790K.
Thanks for the down vote.
