Hi,
My processor and Motherboard is getting long in the tooth. So i'm looking to update it to something newer to take advantage of newer technology like USB Type C(for better compatibility with my S8) and M.2 (fast loading times) My Current System uses an old i7-3770 paired with a GTX 1070 with only 2 Sata 6gb for SSD.
The computer will serve as my primary playing and home streaming NBA 2k17, Dirt and Tekken 7, and playing Flight Sims like DCS, Strike Fighters 2 and IL-2. I may use it for some Photoshop, Blender if i get around studying 3d modeling. And some video editing for my family.
An Eight Core System sounds nice hence, the R7 1700, but my flight sims take priority over the other stuff hence the desire for a higher clocked I7-7700K. Frankly my current system can handle all my games just want a bit of improvement in my loading times by using a combination of M.2 and SATA SSDs and probably a bit of a bump on the frame rates.
Both Processor and their selection of motherboard will cost me the same amount of money here in the Philippines.
DARK HORSE: R5 1600, cost a lot less but i don't know how much of an improvement it is over my 3770.
