Posted

Budget (including currency): 600$ - 800$

Country: Denmark

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Used for gaming. Playing PUBG, COD MW and so on.(AAA-games)

Other details (existing parts lists, whether any peripherals are needed, what you're upgrading from, when you're going to buy, what resolution and refresh rate you want to play at, etc): 

 

I'm running:

CPU: Intel Core i5-7500 Kaby Lake (watercooled with a singlefan aio)

Motherboard: MSI B250M PRO-VD

GPU: ASUS Expedition GeForce GTX 1070 OC edition 8GB

Memory: Crucial Ballistix 2x8GB 2400Mhz

PSU: Sharkgaming Bloodpump 500W Bronze Certified

 

I'm playing at 1440p at 144Hz refreshrate.

 

I hope some of you can help me choose what to upgrade.

I'm am losing alot of performance, and i can't seem to even play PUBG anymore.

I've tried cleaning my pc, but sadly no luck with boosting performance

 

I was thinking about the CPU, motherboard and Memory.

What do you think?

 

Kind regards

None of the games mentioned are aaa, they’re all esports which has opposite requirements of aaa

Not a pro, not even very good.  I’m just old and have time currently.  Assuming I know a lot about computers can be a mistake.

 

Life is like a bowl of chocolates: there are all these little crinkly paper cups everywhere.

Esports is cpu. A 1070 will only be able to drive 1040p/144hz at the very lowest settings.  I don’t know even then.  Might work though.   Cpu first though.  You’ve got an overclock AIO with a non overclock cpu.  If the gpu can hold up definitely the cpu/mobo/ram.  Something 6pr 8 core just because multithreading is getting common but also high clock.  3600xt?

Yeah, I already have an NZXT H440I case, with 6 TB HDD and 250 GB SSD

Cool! What do you think of those parts? Do you want to stick with intel?

The case and storage don't need changing.

 

And i was actually thinking about doing AMD, so it doesn't really matter with me about Intel or AMD

 

Thanks

Here's a pretty sizeable upgrade for AMD side of things. You would fair fine however with a Ryzen 5 3600 instead. And get a better GPU.

Thank you so much, do you think it is necessary to get a new GPU? my gtx1070 is running at 8gb gddr5

 

Is it because of the difference between gddr5 and gddr6?

The 8gb memory will allow it to push 4k video.  The amount of memory isn’t the problem.  A 580 has 8gb of memory.

 

There is more than gddr5 vs 6 between a 1070 and a 2070S.  A 2070 can be very roughly thought of as a 3.5k card where each k is a bump up in either monitor size or monitor speed.
 

so 1440p@144hz ~4k.  You’ve got a 1070 which is a whisker slower.

 

The thing is esports stuff often isn’t run at max settings which reduces things.   So will it do 1440p@144hz? Depends.  It’s close enough to the top of its ability to make it interesting.  Good chance you won’t need to replace it though if you dont insist on ultra settings.  

Not a pro, not even very good.  I’m just old and have time currently.  Assuming I know a lot about computers can be a mistake.
