Opinions on my build (Already Built)

GeorgeKellow

I have had some of the parts since 2014 (I5 cpu) 

 

What upgrades do you recommend? I don't want to go to skylake just yet (I believe haswell has still got life in it) 

I am willing to buy used for a cpu 

I also thinking on getting a second 970?

I'd always choose the more powerful graphics card over 2 lesser ones. In your case, that means I'd get a 1070 instead of SLI. Also, a 4790k or 5775c would be nice, the latter is clocked and overclocks less but it's eDRAM is pretty much L4 cache when the iGPU isn't in use.

Most games still don't support SLI, so nope to the second 970.

Maybe just a new card like a 1070.

(don't make my mistake)

Apart from that you build still has 2 or so more years in it.

I suck a typing, preparw for typos.
