Upgrading.

[KHH]

Hi guys!

 

I recently got my tax returns, and i was thinking that i might aswell upgrade my pc.

 

Right now im running this:

I7 3770K

GTX 680

16gb ram.

 

So i was wondering if i should just keep my cpu and only upgrade my graphics card, or if my cpu is starting to become slow aswell.

 

Whats your thought and ideas?

 

My budget is 750 dollars.

CPU should still be perfectly fine, so long as you're not doing content creation/3d rendering etc.

I would definitely upgrade your GPU if you game. Your CPU should be fine unless you are doing tons of heavy rendering and stuff like that.

For 750 I would vote to get a 1070 and a good cooler for that CPU (if you dont already have one) and overclock it (If you haven't). After that then maybe a new SSD if you dont have one. Or a better PSU if yours isn't the best. A full list of your current build would be really nice though to see

Ya i guess my post was a little wage.

 

I do have an SSD, a corsair psu, and i have had my cpu overclocked for a while.

 

So you would all say a 1070 would allow me to play games at better than low settings again?
