Thank you once again! It's time to order parts

you'll need a z370 motherboard, but other than that any board will do fine. If you like asus, go for asus. I personally don't care much about mobo br So Asus TUF Z370-PLUS GAMING would do the trick?

Thank you for the fast replay! Somehow in my head I would like to stay with Intel. So the i5 8600K option looks really good. Is there also an Asus motherboard you would recommend? I saw on tweakers.net that this board got alot of good reviews in its priceclass. Asus Republic Of Gamers Z170 MAXIMUS VIII HERO

Hello Guys, I'm looking for some advice on upgrading my aging CPU/Motherboard and RAM. Last summer i already upgraded my GPU for an GTX 1070 but since the bottleneck video just recently I have realised I might be giving up alot of performance. My use for the PC is mainly simulator games(Eurotruck/Farming simulator 17) and Starcraft 2. In preperation for the new release of Farming Simulator 19 at the end of this year, I now am preparing to upgrade. Currently FS17 is sometimes having FPS drops when there is alot of objects and behicles around. And the same goes for Starcraft 2 in very unit heavy maps. My location is the Netherlands and my budget for the 3 componants is around €600. With this setup I'm driving a Dell U3415W @ 3440x1440 pixels. Down below I will list my current setup. Hardware to keep: Powersupply: silverstone strider gold evolution 850W SSD MAIN (windows): Crucial M4-CT128M4SSD2 SSD SECONDARY: Samsung 850 EVO 1TB CPU Cooler: Thermalright True Black 120 (currently mounted on socket LGA 1155) GPU: Gigabyte GeForce GTX 1070 G1 Gaming 8G Hardware to be replaced: CPU: Intel Coore i5 2500K, socket LGA 1155 Motherboard: Asus P8H67-V RAM: 16GB DDR3 (4* Corsair 4GB PC3-10700 (667Mhz) I hope anyone can shed some light on my questions.

oh okay I just had a look at the game images, and it looks pretty grassy there o_o thing now is choosing between a higher clockspeed or more cores, but I don't think I can find any solid answers on this. sorry ,_, check the graphics settings in-game. you should be looking for vsync or vertical sync. turn that on Thank you! I shall give that a try. I'll look into choosing a CPU trough the builders forum. I think my budget only lets me get an i5 of some sorts. But the suggested 6core one from thebottlenecker website looks fine. Again thank you for the reply's!

I'm currently getting 40-60FPS but not on the highest settings, the games sometimes drops hard in framerate if there are alot of objects/vehicles present. Also somehow there is alot of horizontal tearing, the refresh rate for the screen is setup correctly and I do not have this problem in games like Starcraft 2. Also, looking at the big changes to the engine and additions in the upcoming game. I'm somewhat doubtfull the system will still handle the game at this resolution. I'll start a new thread once the upgrade starts. I'm hoping to re-use as much as possible parts(PSU/GPU/SSD's/Case/CPU cooler).

Hmmmm This might explain my performance isseus I play alot of Farming Simulator 17 and have upgraded to a Nvidia Geforce GTX1070, but I'm still running my old motherboard and CPU setup. My currents setup is: Intel Core i5 2500K (socket 1155 LGA) MB: Asus P8H67-V 16GB DDR3 GPU Gigabyte Nvidia GTX1070 8GB and i run this on a 21:9 3440x1440 Dell monitor I was hoping this would power the new edition of the Farming Simulator Game in November as well. But maybe its time for the old CPU to go? Any advice on this? http://thebottlenecker.com gives me the option for Intel Core i5-8600K.
