How bad is my setup?

[SloppyEngineer]

Hello!

 

I recently built a PC but in the last few weeks I started to have this feeling that my PC was somewhat outdated and just an average non high end PC. (Compared to the all new hardware that just came out)

 

Specs:

 

i7-6700k

Asus ROG GTX1070 Strix OC

Asus Z170 Pro Gaming/AURA

Kingston HyperX Savage 3000Mhz 16GB (2×8GB)

Coolermaster Hyper 212 EVO

FSP Fortron Hyper M 700W Modular PSU

Zalman Z9 Neo White

1.3 TB worth of HDD storage

No SSD yet(Planning on getting the Samsung 850 EVO 500GB)

AOC Q2778VQE 27" 1ms 2k (non 144Hz) monitor

 

Have I made any bad decisions in getting certain parts instead of others?

It's not outdated. Just add a SSD.

Of course it'll feel that way, especially with the 1080 TI just coming out, but your pc is definitely a good one. Especially with that value GTX 1070, you can't go too wrong for the price to performance in this rig.

I have this exact same one. I highly recommend using Samsungs Magician software but not the newest 5th version. I don't know why but Samsung removed a whole lot of features with its newest version. Any version with 4.XX will do perfectly.

Your build is fine for years to come. There are people still using i7-2600's because it doesn't bottleneck even current Gen GPUs. It won't feel outdated once you turn your SSD into your boot drive.

Wow, outdated? Well, if you are willing to spend 2000$ every year, yes Its out dated.

 

No dude, you pc is not outdated It will feel pretty slow if you dont. Its a must have in any 800+ $ build IMO.
