He compares the same system you have to new hardware.

What kind of performance are you looking for? As far as I can tell your rig should still have quite a bit of life left in it.

[Arwanell]

definetly not the CPU

GPU

although the only worth upgrade would be Fury or 980ti

[alexhelvetica]

No, I wouldn't upgrade anything yet.

Wait for intel's and/or AMD's new CPUs and buy a new CPU then, same goes with the GPU.

to be spesific, the performance i am looking for is, kinda like better Fps, ultra quality, when playing new Rise of Tombrider,  

and less likely going BSod everytime i tried to overclock my system...

Just one more question, what resolution are you playing at?

If you want to get the most possible performance right now, I recommend upgrading your GPU to an AMD R9 Fury X, and finding a higher end z77 motherboard used and getting a liquid CPU cooler like a corsair H110 to allow you to overclock your CPU more and make your system more stable.

looks fine for now might wanna upgrade cpu later on in 2017 sometime it should be alright for now though

[Alfonsus]

all right, thanks for the suggestion then...

If you are in the UK, I will sell you my H110 Super cheap, unless it gets sold elsewhere.

SOLID STATE HARD DRIVE!! ssd makes such a difference! You have good hardware otherwise. OK 40.00usd 128gb ssd just for OS will make life so much easier

[TravisTea]

Doesn't look like you have a solid state drive. I'd definitely invest in one as cheap as they are now. Grab you a good 250gb or 500gb ssd and I think you're good for several years still.

I think you should wait for Zen for a CPU upgrade.

 

Best case is they kick ass for cheap, and intel lowers prices.

 

Worst case there'll still probably be intel price improvements. 

 

At this point 6700k and 6600k are straight up overpriced, so i can't recommend them at all as an upgrade
