So I like 4k and have 2 3840x2160 screens running at 60Hz.

Playing games in good settings and quick boot times is what im looking for. (game on single screen)
Believe it or not my old pc is still going but looking to upgrade as issues arise here and there.

I have done a little look at parts but would love someone to see if im being mad.

 

Current Part List:

i7-4790K
Maximus VII Ranger 

16GB OF DDR3

Nvidia Geforce GTX 970

 

Below is what I want to get and the pieces that cost £0 are items I already own and wish to carry forward. 

Except for the graphics card which I need help with, not too expensive yet delivers what I need.

If you are going ddr5 I would get faster than 4800 mhz ram. Probably 6000 mhz ideally. Do you like raytracing? If yes, you will want to stick to newer Nvidia RTX cards, if not, you will get better price to performance with AMD gpus.

 

What is your rough budget for GPU? What country are you in?

 

 

FYI you will need to buy thermal paste if you don't already have it in order to move AIO from one pc to another 🙂 

 

Edit: I would recommend upgrading your PSU if you can afford it. Generally, you want 80+ Gold and fully modular. The wattage would be determined by how beefy of a gpu you get.
