Hi guys 

 

i have a pc at the moment it’s specs are

 

cpu - i7700k

mobo - Asus Z270F 

GPU - 1080 G1

ram - Team elite DDR4 2400mhz 32gb ram

 

im wanting to see where I can upgrade this I currently stream on twitch and do it as a part time job with my other work. I am wanting tk

upgrade my current rig as I stream and game from the same pc so As you can imagine sometimes it’s hard to do both when playing on high settings as well as having a lot of programs open. I want to upgrade even if it means getting a few more FPS to me that’s important. What would you guys recommend i upgrade?

 

any help would be much appreciated

Just add a Ryzen 5 1600 system + capture card to handle the encoding and streaming. 7700k is still one of the best CPUs for gaming, until super CPU heavy games come into play which you'd appreciate the 8th and 9th gen i7 more.

a Turing GPU with NVENC encoding is an upgrade, so 2080 or 2080 ti. Otherwise a new motherboard and CPU will go a long way, if you're patient enough for Zen 2 in a couple months it's your best bet.

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

 

Primary PC:

i7 8086k - EVGA Z370 Classified K - G.Skill Trident Z RGB - WD SN750 - Jedi Order Titan Xp - Hyper 212 Black (with RGB Riing flair) - EVGA G3 650W - dual booting Windows 11 and Fedora Linux - Black and green theme, Razer brainwashed me.

Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference.

 

PSU tier list

How many watts do I need?

PSU misconceptions, protections explainedgroup reg is bad

Yes I was thinking about either waiting or getting a new mobo and i9 9900k But in regards to mobo I need recommendations preferably Asus

Thanks for the reply. I was looking at maybe getting a i9900k and a new mobo for now, i would get a 2nd pc but I just don’t have the rook to get it going KB&m and what not so for now it needs to be my current rig. If I do go for what I said could you recommend a mobo Preferably Asus

Asus, the overpriced [profanity]. Hate their recent products.
