Upgrades or maybe entire new build

[Zerebratox]

Hi Guys, 

 

after changing parts in my PC for years  i am now AT the point where i am thinking about switching CPU. 

 

The Thing is, if i switch CPU i could basically switch CPU, gpu, Mainboard, RAM alltogether. 

 

My current Build :

 

System

• CPU
  Intel Core i7 4770k
• Motherboard
  MSI Z97 Gaming 5
• RAM
  Corsair 16gb DDr3
• GPU
  EVGA GTX 980ti Classified, ACX 2.0
• Case
  Phanteks Enthoo Pro
• Storage
  2 TB HDD | 500 GB SSD | 250 GB SSD | 240 GB SSD
• PSU
  be quiet! Pure Power 10 600W ATX
• Display(s)
  MSI Optix Mag271CQR (27" WQHD 144hz VA) | BenQ GL2450H (24" FHD 60hz TN)
• Cooling
  Noctua NH-U14S

 

What would be the Best idea? Changing the whole System, just getting a New graphics card, CPU? 

 

I am mostly using it for programming and gaming. 

 

I mainly play games like subnautica, league of legends, shooters and other Single Player games like darksouls and so on. 

 

I am playing on a WQHD 144hz Monitor and my current Build does have Problems with playing games like subnautica on high settings.

i think subnautica is quite poorly optimised. you'd have to invest quite a lot of money in a new build to see a significant performance uplift. if I were you, I'd wait until the second part of the year for the new nvidia 3000 series and the new ryzen 4000 series.

I would wait. That build is still entirely viable for most games that you say you play. It’s still overall a solid rig. I’d wait until new Ryzen, etc and go from there.

If you really want to upgrade right now i'd recommend getting a higher end motherboard so its still pretty good when the new stuff comes out, and with the new board you'd need new RAM and CPU. I'd recommend AMD for that. All of that would probably cost a fair bit so after that you'd probably want to wait and save up for the new graphics cards.

Though with what you've got right now your probably better off waiting and saving up for when the new stuff comes out and replacing most/all of the system then.

Are you currently overclocking your 4770k?
