Need you guys' help with upgrading my outdated PC.

I was thinking of getting a 970 right now, and at a later date get a CPU and motherboard, like 6700k with comp. motherboard.

Any other suggestions?

Specs:

  • CPU
    i7-860 OC@3GHz
  • Motherboard
    Asus P7P55D LE
  • RAM
    Kingston 2x4GB 1330MHz DDR3
  • GPU
    ATI Radeon HD 5770

They say you are what you eat, but I dont remember eating a legend.

600W, cant tell you the brand. The computer was once my brothers and since the PSU doesnt have any labels, Id say it isnt one of the best.

then that should be your first upgrade... you dont want to go dropping hundreds of bucks on upgrading your parts to have them get blown up from a shitty psu

 

get yourself a seasonic, evga gs or g2, antec high current gamer, one of those around 550 watts 

 

once you have that get a new gpu, i would recommend a 390 over a 970 unless you want nvidia features 

CPU: i5 6600k @ 4.6 ghz  Motherboard: Asus z170-a  Cooling: Corsair h80i GT GPU: EVGA GTX 970  Ram: G.Skill 2x8 gb ddr4 2400  PSU: EVGA G2 Supernova 550w  Case: Corsair 200r Storage: 250GB 850 EVO + 2x wd 1 tb drives
