Link for the parts that I'm planning to buy! (CPU and OS already bought) https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/zNPGhq

 

1. Budget & Location

Live in the UK, so currency is GBP (£). Budget is around £2000, but I would appreciate saving money on items that isn't exactly required!

 

2. Aim

I'm planning to use my new PC for high end gaming, as well as to be able to run new games coming up with a solid frame rate.

 

3. Monitors

I'll most likely be using two or three monitors.

 

4. Peripherals

No need for any peripherals!

 

5. Why are you upgrading?

Upgrading because my current PC can hardly run any games that I am looking to play at 60fps (Prebuilt computer with no Graphics Card)

 

Thanks for the help guys!

I was thinking that, but at the same time the cost for effectiveness seems much better on the 1070. Is it worth the extra few hundred?

If I don't plan to go 1440p, then is it worth the additional cost? I'm just planning to stick with 1920 x 1080 for now.

Is 4x4gb ram worth, considering the speed decrease compared to the one that I already have selected? And thanks for the advice!

honestly don't know i'd do it but i have no first hand experience my personal rig has 2 8gb sticks

Okay, I think I'll stick with the faster ram just to be on the safe side, but thanks anyway!

And just wondering, is there much of a difference between the motherboard that I'd selected, and the one that you had selected?
