Upgrade advice for an ageing build

[tmouse93]

Hey all

I am looking to upgrade my pc that has a few years on its back but has served me well.
Being out of touch to the latest parts i'm finding it difficult deciding what parts mainly need upgraded and what parts that could still be kept if possible

I currently have a 1080p 144hz screen so preferably wanting to upgrade to utilize that but I will probably eventually upgrade to a 1440p screen in the near future.

Currently play a variety of games but mainly fps (battlefield) and rpg's

My upgrade budget is preferably as low as possible but max i'm probably wanting to spend at the moment is £800 (i'm in the uk) 

 

my current build is: 

Case: Fractal Design Define S
GPU: EVGA Gtx 970 SSC acx 2.0
CPU: intel i7 6700k 4.0GHz
CPU fan: Noctua NH-D15
RAM: corsair vengeance 2x8gb ddr4 2400mhz
PSU: EVGA Supernova P2 750W
Hard drive: samsung SSD 850 EVO 500gb + western digital blue 1TB 7200rpm

 

Thanks for your help :)

That's still a strong build.  The only thing I would do is upgrade your GPU to something like a RTX 2070 Super.  Maybe upgrade your HDD to a 4 or 6 GB while your at at.  1GB isn't a lot for games.

1997 called, they want their hard drives back.

LeVar called, thinks you should read more.  

 

There's already a 500GB SSD in the system. Mass storage on SSD is still a bit pricey.

Fair enough.  I doubt anyone would have actually thought I meant 6GB HDD though instead of 6TB.

Bud from what I can tell with the 1440p parameter you'll need a new CPU, mobo, GPU and RAM. That SATA SSD will load those games just fine. 

The R5 3600 is the obvious choice in budget builds as everyone and their cat will have said and I'd pair it with the ASUS TUF X570-Plus as it has a good VRM for overclocking and the thermals are good during it. As for GPU the RX 5700 should do the job for high-class 1080p and some 1440p gaming, so any AIB model from PowerColor and Sapphire are great. As for RAM the 2400MHz is very slow for Ryzen 3000 so upgrade to a decent 3200MHz 2*8GB kit. That'll land you around the 800£ range. So here's my two cents on this!
