Hello there,
I am looking for suggestions and help on deciding on upgrade parts for my current pc. I want to switch over to Intel so I know that for now I'll have to replace the motherboard, ram and cpu.
My main priorities are editing and a decent gaming compatibility. I'm only running 2x 1080p monitors (even only 60Hz ones).
My current rig specs like this:
AMD Phenom II x6 1045T 2,7GHz
G.Skill DDR3 1600Mhz 8GB (2x4GB)
AsRock N68C-S UCC
AMD R9 380 8GB Strix
XFX 750W PSU
Kingston 250GB SSD V300
Older Noctua CPU fan (works pretty good tho)
I'm looking for a a little more future proof pc on a budget around 600€, the components I want to upgrade are stated above (mainboard, ram, cpu).
After doing a bit of research on my own I picked these parts.
CPU:
- i5 7600(K or non-K?)
- i5 6600(K or non-K?)
Mainboard:
- MSI Z270 Gaming M3
- Is this a solid choice or already too much for my priorities?
Ram: (I wanna upgrade to atleast 16GB)
- Any 2x8GB sticks that fit into the budget?
Located in Europe/Germany.
I really hope you guys here can help me out with some advice since I've never owned any Intel system and am not sure if this would be a decent setup.
The main reason to upgrade is to update my pc a bit and I want more solid performance while editing/gaming.
Thanks for your time reading this already
