An upgrade plan

[Arucad]

Hi guys,

Soooooooo I have a FX-8320 clocked at 4.4GHz and a R9 270.

I am planning on getting a 1070 when it launches and switch Mobo+Ram+CPU to either 6600k or 6700k a few months later.

Will I have a terrible experience while on the OCd 8320+1070 or will I be fine? (I Ain't gonna play Ashes of Singularity, Witcher 3 and GTA V)?

You'll be fine.

you will probably be fine with that OC you will get a boost with skylake but you performance will be better than now thinking about doing a same kind of build currently i5 3570K&gtx970.

its fine. a 6500 or 6700 is enough though.

well, while cpu necks are defenately gonna be a problem with the powerhouse the 1080 and 1070 seem to be, no matter what it'll CERTANLY be an upgrade over a 270

 

but honestly, even if you cpu bottleneck hardcore, think of it like this:

the worst that can happen here is that you're running your cpu to its absolute fullest it can do while gaming, which in no way will be a worse experience than what you have now, if anything you could make use of the situations and just CRANK the details and resolution until the gpu just caps out again

Well, I like having the ability to OC, even if I don't do it at the beginning. As with my current CPU, I only OCd it recently.

heh, TBH I am absolutely not questioning whether the GPU upgrade will be big, I know it's a huge difference. I was just wondering how would my CPU handle the 1070.
