My budget is around $400. Windows Version: 8.1 64-bit PSU: EVGA 500B Case: Lenovo Ideacentre Case (2012) RAM: 12gb of DDR3 (MHz unknown) The most graphically intensive games I play are GTA V, Dayz, and Rust. I'm playing all games at 1080p resolution.

I have a gtx 1060, i5 4430, no-name ram and mobo, and a cruccial mx300 ssd and 1tb seagate hdd. The ram and mobo came in a lenovo ideacentre k430 and it has no brand and I can't find any specs on them. So what part of the PC should i upgrade for gaming?

Do you guys think that I will bottleneck really hard or do you think I'll be fine?

I don't have a z97 board my board is like 3 years old

Where I will get my GTX 1070 I bought a GTX 960 for 240 last Christmas and there is a 2 year warrenty where you can return it for how much you bought it for so I am going to use that store credit which brings the price for the 1070 down to about 200

I am planning on getting a GTX 1070, but I have an i5 4430 and I was wondering if it would bottleneck.

Thanks! Also, would you happen to know if dayz heavily relies on a special feature from a gpu? i.e. vram or memory bandwidth

Hi all, I have had an ASUS STRIX GTX 960 2gb graphics card for almost 9 months now. When I first got it I thought it was amazing, but recently I started playing dayz and noticed that it could only run at speeds of 45-60 fps when I have the video settings set to low. This had me thinking and I figured that since I am using an Intel I5- 4430 processor, my system could be bottlenecking a good amount. If you think that is the case what CPU should I maybe get to reduce bottlenecking and future-proof bottlenecking because I may get a GTX 1060 soon after, but that is a whole other conversation. Thanks for the help!
