"New" Gaming PC

[bgoe]

Hello everyone,

 

I'm looking to "upgrade" my gaming PC. I just don't have any idea which hardware I can use in there. Currently, I have a GTX 1080 with an i7-4770K and 16GB DDR3 RAM in a Gigabyte H97M-D3H Board with an Artic Freezer 13 CPU-cooler and some no-name case.

 

Budget and Location: I live in Germany. My budget is around 600-850€.

 

Aim: The pc is primary for gaming. I sometimes do light video editing. It should run new games in good quality and 4k (like Cyberpunk 2077 and Watch Dogs Legion). I also have a HTC Vive so it should support VR.

 

Monitors: I have two old 1920x1080 monitors as side monitors (for running skype, discord, chrome, TeamSpeak, etc) and an ASUS 4k Monitor (3840x2160) which is my main monitor. (The monitors are HP 2210i, Samsung Sync Master F2380 and Asus MG28U)

 

Peripherals: I have all the peripherals. (Mouse, Keyboard, Headset, Microphone, Windows key, etc.)

 

Why am I upgrading: I just want to refresh my PC's hardware because it isn't the newest and fastest hardware and it doesn't perform very good in new games.

 

I'm also planning on using my GTX 1080, my SSDs and my PSU in the new build (PNY GTX 1080 OC, 2x 1TB Samsung SSD (SATA), Corsair TX750M 750W). So I think I'm "just" needing a case, a CPU cooler, a CPU and a motherboard. The build should also last some time.

 

Thanks in advance for answers.

Just upgrade to a Ryzen 5 3600. Get MSI b450 a-pro max, gaming plus max, tomahawk max for the Mobo. And get a 16gb kit of 3600mhz ddr4 ram.

Other than that your build looks fine.

 

By the way, you can OC that 4770k and squeeze out more performance.

That system could pull 4k gaming and VR with a 2080 or 2080ti. That CPU is still pretty decent and VR and 4k gaming put the most strain on the Graphics card

With that budget and if you want the PC to last a bit then you should look for 8c/16t which means the 3700X.

A good board + ram + decent cooler.

This is what i would get:

Ryzen 3700X

MSI B450 Tomahawk Max 

16gb 3200mhz/3600mhz RAM

Noctua NH-U12S Cooler

 

@bgoe The GTX 1080 is still a good GPU but could soon start to struggle if you want to play at 4k/60hz.

This all depends on what types of games you play of course.

for 4k you need gpu power, not cpu power. although cybepunk sys reqs are not yet out, a 1080 will probably struggle to reach 4k 60fps. the cpu will be happy to push 60fps no problem. so for 4k gaming, i'd upgrade gpu, not cpu. maybe wait for nvidia 3000 series.
