Thinking About Upgrading

[biegman]

Hey guys I am thinking about upgrading my PC. I will need to save up for one nice new piece of tech and was hoping you guys could help out. I mostly want better performance in games, but am unsure where to put my money to make that happen. Thanks in advance. Here are my current specs:

 

CPU: Intel Core i5 4670k @ 3.40 GHz

 

RAM: 8.00GB Dual-Channel DDR3 @ 666MHz

 

Motherboard: ASUSTeK COMPUTER INC. Z87-A (SOCKET 1150)

 

Graphics: 2047MB NVIDIA GeForce GTX 770 (EVGA)

 

Storage: 1TB Seagate ST1000DM003-1CH162 (SATA)

              112GB KINGSTON SV300S37A120G (SSD)

gpus are endless money pits. you can never have enough fps. 

 

buy another or preferably buy a different higher end gpu.

I wouldn't upgrade at all to be honest.  If you do want an upgrade though, upgrade the GPU for better performance in games.

If anything, get a second 770 and SLI it. That's about all I'd do, though.

second 770/970/r9 290x

if you ABSOLUTELY *need* an upgrade, theres 3 paths to go:

 

if you're a multitasker, get an i7 and maybe some extra ram.

 

if you dont multitask *that* much, update graphics in one of two ways:

 

- if you dont mind SLI: get a second 770.

 

- if you hate SLI just as much as i do, get a better GPU and try selling on this one, or keep it as a spare.

(y'know in case a friend's gpu dies, or a steambox/media center from spare parts in one or two years)

 

but really i dont think you need an upgrade at this point, i'd suggest waiting one generation (for cpu or GPU, depending on what you need most)

Hmm... those specs. You shouldn't really upgrade. Wait for the 3XX series, it's coming in 2~3months

 

If absolutely want to, get a 290x XF for a reall performance jump. Or SLI 970.
