To upgrade or not to Upgrade thats the qst

[Noob-pc-builder]

Hello, Im thinking about upgrading.

my setup is =mobo:asrock vg4 r2.01

=Ram:8gb hyperx 1600 

8gb samsung 1600

sometimes the samsung becomes undetected for some reason but blowing on it and singing to it helps fix the prob

=cpu i7 4770 3.8oc

=Cpu Cooler:actic looks like a 20% thicker intel stock

=gpu msi 1070ti

=Psu corsair cv 650w

=just ordered some case fans cuz i had none

My budget is 200$ or 1000$ after 1 year and im from morocco so im stuck with aliexpress and whatever is available in my country.

also how bottlenecked is my poor gpu?

also how bottlenecked is my poor gpu? since cpu is low and mobo has pcie 1.

 

 

What is your CPU..?

Grab a used combo like a 4th/5th gen i5 or i7 someone upgraded from maybe? 

 

Otherwise wait and save up until you can get within a few generations of current.

Also, that mobo is pcie gen 2. Gen 1 is very, very old…. Gen 2 is fine for a 1070ti. But what CPU do you have is the important question.

I deleted it by mistake

Oh, then with this new information, you're fine.  Decent pairing, your system is fine as it is.

 

I'd get more RAM and SSD love.

 

When you list "= just ordered" does that mean you do or do not have the parts listed above?

 

Your post is confusing.

4770k is certainly a bit old, and a faster chip would make things better, but if you can wait, I’d probably wait a bit longer. When new stuff comes out in a few months, if you can get a used 10700k or 5600, those could be a great upgrade.
