Best upgrade for now?

Go to solution Solved by DarkBlade2117,

I'd say do half and half. Get a 980Ti, possibly. I enjoy MSI ones for the lowish end ones or if you can go higher up in price a Asus Matrix or EVGA Classified/Hybrid will be good also.

Upgrade your monitor also to use the full advantage of that 980Ti.

Get an EVGA 850w+ GS or G2 or GQ or any XFX or Seasonic. I state 850w to allow for any single or most dual GPU setups and nVidias Pascal was rumored to be a bit power hungry though if you get a 980Ti Pascal is probably out of the question.

Get a new mouse, You seem consent on the MX Master though to expand your possibilities the Mionix Castor is a fantastic mouse.

Are you fine with your keyboard? If not get something like a Corsair Strafe or look into Ducky shine keyboards.

 

 

Your CPU is fine, trust me. The i7-3770 is very capable, I'd wait for Broadwell-E which is suppose to come out very soon. Like within the months, the i7-6800k ( The new 5820k ) is supposed to be somewhat similar in price and they are also using X99 so you will get your X99 system, Just hold out a bit. Arma 3 on a 3770, even a 6700k has trouble. It is just a very poorly optimized game and even people with top end 6700ks and 980Tis complain about it.


What do you think I should go with?

If you can, please explain in the comments why you chose the answer you chose.

 

EDIT: I will probably get the other upgrade later, this is about what to get now.

 

I am currently using this(in my profile)si3QbvS.png

I will upgrade the PSU and/or the RAM.

OK, thank you.

I love my keyboard and I don't have the strafe in my country.

For a PSU, what do you recommend from this site?

Any 850w Fully Modular SeaSonic is a good choice. Can't really go wrong with them.
