Whats better?

[LiquidLion]

Hey

 

I am thinking between upgrading my current or building a new pc and had some questions. What would even be the better choice in my case? (my current specs are listed below. keep in mind that pc is roughly 3+ years old i think) 

If i were to buy and build a new pc myself the budget would roughly hover at around 1.2-1.5k. 

 

I need great performance and this pc has served me very well for quiet some time now but since i bought a new monitor yesterday ( ASUS ROG Swift PG279Q ) and am also getting into games that require a bit more graphical power (i used to play league and oldschool-titles such as AgeOfEmpires and Runscape and have now begun to play newer titles such as BF1 and Dishonoured 2)

 

 

 

 

My current pc has the following specs:

 

CPU: Intel Core i7-4770K

GPU: EVGA GeForce GTX 780

Motherboard:Gigabyte GA-Z87X-UD3H Motherboard

Ram: 16GB Corsair Vengeance DDR3

Storage: 2TB Western Digital Caviar Black + 125Gb Samsung SSD

Case: Fractal Design Define R4

CPU - Cooler: Noctua NH-D15

PowerSupply: 750W Corsair TX750M

 

 

 

Thank you veryy much for reading and i wish all a great day

A simple GPU upgrade would be all I'd recommend.

upgrade GPU to a GTX1060 to GTX1070 and you should be all set.

 

your CPU is almost as powerful as some skyline models today, so you;re set there

1440P I would avoid a 1060

Skylake..

 

That monitor is WQHD if u want to maxout AAA title and get smooth framerate get the GTX 1070 or R9 Fury.

Monitor is Gsync, would be a waste to go AMD

1080 will last longer and is pretty sweet at 1440P, dishonoured 2 is a pretty demanding game. No real reason to upgrade the CPU its still a good chip, if you did I would go X99, but I really wouldn't bother, maybe wait until after Kabylake X and RYZEN and see how the CPU market shapes up later next year. You could add a bigger SSD with that 1080

i hate spellcheck so much when it comes to tech.

 

and kaby lake autocorrects to baby lake.

1070 or 1080 if you got the budget. the rest looks mint.

Maybe add an ssd.

Owh i didnt know that..my bad.

1080 will last longer but its just not great for value the card is so expensive.. If i were him i'ill stick with 1070.

and bad pc port on dishonoured 2.

 

But i agree.. lets wait for RYZEN.

There's also a pretty big performance gap as well between the 2. I have the Asus PG278Q and a palit gamerock premium 1080 GTX which is on water running 2050mhz, at ultra a lot games sit around 60 - 80 FPS, so I really wouldn't advise a 1070 if the OP wants smooth play in a year (and clearly has the budget). Don't get me wrong, 1070 is great also.

Ahhh okay. So basically what you're saying is that the 1060 wouldn't be worth it and the choice is between the 1070 and 1080 with the 1070 being the more budgetfriendly version ?

If he got the budget.. its best to wait for 1080 ti IMO.

I am not saying that 1080 is bad because its expensive in fact i sell them gpu in here its just their performance per dollar is not quite good.

And suggest 1070 because its the sweet spot for 1440p.

 

Anyway its up to the OP to decide..

Hmmm true. Do you know any rough date when that card will get released?

And again thank you very much to everyone that responded <3

Next january.. but it will hurt your wallet..its going to be at least $1000 dollars

How you know?

 

I bet its more like $700 - 800 and the 1080 will lower in price, over $1000 put's too close the Titan XP, wouldn't be great marketing, also it probably launch in response to Vega meaning the whole 1xxx series is going to have to be more competitively priced
