Plaxonn Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 Hello, this goes to everyone with PC building knowledge. As my computer is pretty old right now, and as I have some money that I could invest in my PC, I was wondering if you had some recommendations on what I should improve. These are my current SPECS CPU: Intel i7-4770K, 4 x 3.50 Ghz (3.90 Ghz Turbo)* CPU Cooler: Corsair H100i Hydro Series GPU: 2 x (SLI) ASUS GTX 780 DirectCU II 3GD5 Overclocked RAM: G.Skill Ripjaws 2133 MHz 4x4GB* SSD: Samsung 840 EVO Series 250GB SSD* HDD: Seagate Barracuda 1 TB, 7200rpm* Motherboard: MSI Z87-GD65 DRAGONGAMING MILIARY CLASS III Love to hear from you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoxMerc Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 Unfortunately, you're in the same boat I am. The 4670k/4770k-era CPUs are fucking amazing, to the point where the current gen 9700k isn't all that much worth it. That's your call, but me personally, I'm not upgrading off of my 4670k for awhile. Maybe Zen2 will change that for me.https://cpu.userbenchmark.com/Compare/Intel-Core-i7-4770K-vs-Intel-Core-i7-9700K/1537vs4030 You have to look at your use-case from your computer. If you want to do heavy gaming, here's what I'd do if I were you * Ensure your CPU is OC'd as high as you can get it* Switch off of the 780 SLI into a single 1080 TI or Vega 56 (budget depending)* Get a higher-capacity SSD (think 850 Evo 1TB) (this is optional, but I currently have 3x 128Gb SSDs (thanks, dad) and I'd much rather have a single one) You kind of don't want to touch your ram, because there's no point in buying high-quality RAM for your current mobo (assuming the next mobo you buy won't support ram you upgrade) that will only last a short time until your next processor upgrade. Unfortunately, I can't tell you when is the right time to upgrade your processor. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PENROSE Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 those are some pretty ok specs you have right now i dont understand why you want to upgrade lol shit i bet you can play most games and besides the only game you really need is runescape and even runescape you dont need you just bot so whats the deal.... is your pc crashing constantly or something that you neeeeed to get a new pc because if not i say just keep the money and buy one in a year or two when the gap between your specs and whats on the market is wider because it doesnt look like you need to upgrade tbh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
