Hey LTT-Forums!

 

Since i just upgraded to my 1080, i'd need some further help to upgrade my PC even more.

 

My current Hardware:

 

i5-4670, 8GB RAM, GTX 1080 STRIX, 21:9 1440x3440 Monitor, 2TB HDD.

 

- Should i upgrade to Skylake or wait for Kaby Lake?

- Should I buy an SSD?

 

I noticed some heavy CPU & RAM Bound throttling, so I think investing there would be good.

 

Best regards,

Mazuu

You probably don't even have to upgrade to skylake. Just upgrading to a 1231v3 and adding another 8GB of ram and you should be fine.
