Whats up guys!

 

I wanted to ask you guys for some advice (again  :) )

If I wanted to upgrade my system, which basically is composed of:

- GTX 970 Strix OC 4GB VRAM

- 4790k 4Ghz

- 16 GB of 1600mhz Kingston Hyper X DDR3

- MSI Z97 Gaming 3

 

And I my budget would be around 660 USD. What would you guys advice me to upgrade?

Or would you guys say, just save up some more and upgrade the entire system.

 

Thanks for responding, you guys are awesome!

yes!! that is a very good upgrade. besides the i7 not really needed for gaming perhaps a 4690k would be better

3 tips to have a good time on the LTT forums | 1. When you reply to someone please quote them | 2. Please follow your threads | 3. Follow the C.o.C 

If you follow these 3 tips you should have a blast.

Other than not knowing what that i7 will be used for, Id have to say it looks like a solid upgrade...

But if you dont need the i7 and want to save money, get a 4690k.

4690K // 212 EVO // Z97-PRO // Vengeance 16GB // GTX 770 GTX 970 // MX100 128GB // Toshiba 1TB // Air 540 // HX650

Logitech G502 RGB // Corsair K65 RGB (MX Red)

SSD if you don't have one

 

G-sync monitor if you already have an ssd

 

if you have both of those than you're set

Is $660 the budget for the upgrade? If so, a nice liquid cooler and a GTX 980 or a decent cooler (Hyper 212 EVO) and a GTX 980 Ti would be your best bet. Nice system, btw.
