Upgrades Needed

Go to solution Solved by TheRandomness,

All fine to me. You could get a better cooler and a 980Ti if you really wanted to though.

Here is My Current Pc  http://pcpartpicker.com/p/svMpZL I Was Wondering What Parts I could Upgrade Or If I Dont Need To Upgrade I Had Made A Post Already About This But I Did Not Word It Right I Said That I Wanted A New Computer Better Then This One But I Meant To Say I Needed New Parts If Needed For Around 1,000 USD If Needed New Parts.

well, other than places like these forums, you are greatly ahead of other people. if you are not running into frame rate issues in the games you like to play, i would say get some games instead of upgrading. 

 Pc Speck's : i7-6700K 4.0GHz , GTX 980 Ti G1 Gaming 6GB , 16 GB Corsair Vengance DDR4 - 3400 , ROG SWIFT PG278Q 144Hz , (2) Acer G277HL bid 60Hz.

You could upgrade to an i7 6700k, and squeeze in a 980 ti for that 1000 dollars.

Right, good point but just saying the Nano is a smaller Fury X which performs better than a reference 980Ti but not an aftermarket one.

The nano is a fair amount more powerful than the 970. I don't get why you downgraded.

At The Time My Buddy Sold It To Me For 150 Because Of Hard Times And I Was Have Some Troubles With The Nano For Some Odd Reasons And Just Never Looked Back And Was Doing A Little Research On The 6600k It Would Be A Great First Build Upgrade Over The 4690k But Since I Already Have The 4690k Im Not Going To Spend The Money On That To Gain Just I Think Another 5 FPS If You Get My Drift If It Was More Like 10 Fps Then I Would Be Like Hell Yea Worth But Not Worth For 5 Fps Lol
