Upgrading PC

Morphz1 · February 23, 2019

Hey, guys first time poster chasing some advice on upgrading my current PC "ITX" and chasing some advice on what's worth upgrading and what isn't I built this myself a couple of years ago with some help, I'm was looking at getting an RTX 2070 ITX Graphics card stand alone but i figure why not upgrade some other parts along the way. not looking to spent a MASSIVE amount to be over the top but more toward an overall upgrade that will last me a couple of years or what people recommend getting with a 2070, Or if anyone can point me in the right direction of some sites that I could use to assist in upgrading cheers!

Current Spec by the way.

CPU: Intel Core i5 7600 @ 3.50GHz
RAM: 16.0GB Dual-Channel @ 1066MHz
MotherB: ASRock H270M-ITX/ac
GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 6GB

Notes: Equipment needs to be ITX Compatible.

Needs to have Wireless built in preferred.

If you want to get RTX2070, I would first upgrade the CPU because non overclockable quad core will bottleneck you in modern AAA games.I would get i7 7700. Also, your RAM is only 1066Mhz? That seems super low.

Corsair Vengeance LPX CMK16GX4M2B3200C16 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4 Black

I checked my old order this is what i have https://www.pccasegear.com/products/33135

I would assume I would also need to upgrade my power supply as well 600W

Now that im thinking about it maybe its worth just building a whole new pc with a mid size pc tower.

If its decent quality, then its fine, but I assume its some cheapo unknown brand.

What is it your current pc isn’t doing for you that you want to improve? In order to advise on what you should do we need to know what you’re currently u happy with.

your current system is already very nicely specced and competent gaming machine so it’s difficult to guess what what you could do to improve it without guessing your requirements.
