What to upgrade?

[xDanielxOossiex]

Hey guys! I want to upgrade my pc.

 

The options I have are:

 

-Keep my current pc and upgrade from GTX970 to GTX1080. And upgrade later to new chipset

OR:

-Sell my i5 4590, 8GB RAM and Z97 mobo (friend is buying GTX970 from me) and get Z170, 8/16GB RAM and i5 6600K and also a GTX1070.

cant say for sure

what games do you play? are the upgrades really necessary?

are the games you play cpu heavy or gpu heavy?

 

also, 1070 benchmarks arent out yet, so i cant really give a clear answer

Neither your pc is perfectly fine, unless you really want to do some crazy stuff, go build a server and have some fun with networking.

I play games that are both GPU and CPU intensive. GTA5, Battlefield 4, Arma 3, The Crew, ROTR, JC3

GTA5, Arma 3

i'll choose the 6600k for these, if these are what you're playing often

I could also sell my i5 4590 and buy an i7 4790k (I have Z97 mobo) and get a GTX1080

I say upgrade, every time. I have a 2007 PC I'm upgrading. Can't afford to buy a whole new PC, though it practically will be when I'm done.
