  2. I would love it if that was the case but my mate spent the last 6 hours Linkiing me youboob videos of people showing split screens of i3570k and other. Pus showing the bottle necks. Think I just wait and get the 8700k. Thank you everyone for the input. I would of been lost win out you all.
  3. I think you have all won me over, I will try and get my hands on a 8700 or 8600 if I can. That 4266MHz ram looks awesome to boot!

  5. 2560 x 1080 but I would like the option of upgrading to something bigger in the future.
  6. I would stay with the i5 3570k and try and overclock it but I keep on reading or being told how bad the bottlenecking is
  7. Looking at the 8700k spec's it looks good. Costs a lot more but it looks good. If the 8700k will be better I might see if stocks at my local shops restock soon. Are there any limits when it comes to the MB for the 8700k ? I had around a $2300 budget but I will add a bit more if in the long run its better. The reason I went for the 750W was due to looking up that wish list and putting it into a power supply calculator.
  8. Time for a upgrade, games are not running the best atm and i think my vid card is on its way out ( screen glitch's, Driver crash's and stuttering). I plan on getting a 1080ti for longevity but have been told my cpu is going to be a bottle neck. The games I play are PubG, WoW and I am getting ready to get into some Star Citizen with some mates. So atm I am running 5-3570k G.Skill F3-14900CL9D-8GBXL 8GB (2x4GB) 1866MHz DDR3AsRock Z77 professional motherboardEVGA 780 SuperClocked 2 Kingston HyperX Fury 120GB 2.5in SSD in raid I live in Australia and the 2 shops I can get gear from are https://www.pccasegear.com and https://www.scorptec.com.au/ I was thinking something like this https://www.pccasegear.com/wish_lists/757209 and using all of my old parts like SSD's and case. Plan on getting a new power supply due to the one I have being a cheap replacement for the one I lost not long ago. Don't know if it would be better to get a intel CPU or stick with ryzen for more cores for the future. Or if I could overclock the 1700x with the AMD Wraith Max cooler that comes in the bundle. Any feed back would be awesome as the more i read into parts and benchmarks the more lost I feel. Thanks in advance
  9. Steel series mouse and mouse pad Das Keyboard ( with swimming pool of half crusty beer drops) audio Technica headphones with clip on mic ( also half re super glued together, been droped alot)
  10. First of all, good luck to everyone I am using a evga 780 superclocked. I have been thinking of building a AMD system for some time now to see what its like. My last AMD system was a thunderbird 1.4g with a jet engine fan for a cpu cooler ( well it sounded like it). And this card would help lessen the cost of starting off a new from scratch system as my old gaming rig is going to be a hand me down.
  11. The wood on the headset gives me wood. I would of said the mouse pad is the best, But it would only have beer all over within 2 weeks.
