Upgrading

[Bullzi]

Getting new psu and gfx card soon. It is EVGA 1000 P2 80P, and 295x2

My mobo is the old msi X58 pro-e, CPU is i7-950 @ 3.07ghz

Do I need new mobo and cpu? 

Currently gaming at 1080p but intending to go ultrawide 21:9 later on. I only want to upgrade if I possibly have bottleneck when playing 2560 x 1080.

Thanks a lot  :lol: 

 

ps: playing starcitizen, skyrim with stupid amounts of graphic mods, and more graphically intensive games too.

Yes yes yes.

something like a 4790k and z97 mobo

would 4770k and z97 atx suffice?

that also remind me i need to get up to 8gb. Dont know why i still have 6gb ram.

4770k would be enough but the 4790k is newer

 

you're at 6gb most likely because you have 3x2gb ram. since x58 is triple channel afterall.

getting a new ram kit wouldn't hurt. 16 gb if you do editing/rendering otherwise 8 is enough

Since you play a heavily modded Skyrim, you will need 16+ of RAM.

 

Go for the i7-4790k and pair it with a Z97 motherboard.
