Hi :) i was hoping for some help, because i cant figure this out.
Current setup:

CPU: Intel i7 970
MOBO: asus rampage III formula

RAM: The old corsair dominator RAM

GPU: Gainward GTX 570 GLH edition

So the question is; should i upgrade to asus vii hero + i5 4690k (with H100I later down the line) and hyperx fury ram

or buy a new 970 graphics card?

 

I am a sucker for looks by the way  :wub:  :rolleyes: 
I am sorry if this was the wrong place to post this :c

New GPU would be the best.

Just remember: Random people on the internet ALWAYS know more than professionals, when someone's lying, AND can predict the future.

i7 9700K (5.2Ghz @1.2V); MSI Z390 Gaming Edge AC; Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro 16GB 3200 CAS 16; H100i RGB Platinum; Samsung 970 Evo 1TB; Samsung 850 Evo 500GB; WD Black 3 TB; Phanteks 350x; Corsair RM19750w.

 

Laptop: Dell XPS 15 4K 9750H GTX 1650 16GB Ram 256GB SSD

Can you link us to where you're shopping? I was going to shoot some recommendations. 

Are you currently running your cpu at stock settings with the stock cooler?

Sure. It doesn't make that much of a difference.
