Hi, Just want to ask which of my components will have significant benefit from an upgrade. My hardware is as follows:
CPU: Intel i7 4790k (w/ stock cooler)
Mobo: Asus Z97-A
GPU: Asus Strix GTX 1080 (ROG-STRIX-GTX1080-O8G-11GBPS)
RAM: G.Skill Trident X ddr3 1333mhz 16gb
PSU: Corsair RM 1000 80+ gold
SSD: Crucial MX100 240gb
HDD: WD Blue 3TB
Monitor: Asus PG279Q or Acer XB271hu (still to be bought, but kinda fixed on getting either, open to suggestions as well. Upgrading from 60hz 23" monitor)
My question is, do i need to upgrade my ram with a better frequency? or should i wait until i can upgrade cpu+mobo+ram altogether? i'm yet to buy the monitor so i'm also open to suggestions if there are alternatives to make good use of the money. I'm also thinking of getting a decent cooler and try my hands on overclocking.
System will be used for gaming and occasional video rendering.
