any ideas i appreciate

[Kris_Kid]

do you do more than gaming?

 

[killer5247]

so what is your upgrade budget

[Czaja]

1400 pounds

the best so far i found was core i7 7700k oc

asus mb 

16gb 3200mhz ram

water cooling gaming case airflow fans inside 

gtx 1080 msi 6gb

and same ssd hdd and 2tb hdd as my one

i do streaming but cs:go ussually and my pc is doing fine in bf 1 is still doing fine with no drops or so on high details

Why you are selling it upgrade to 1080 ti

[Czaja]

Because i think by graphic card is doing well more fine then my cpu , even oced from 3.5 to 4.3 it have a bad benchmark results and rendering test results scored at 650points , where my gpu have a high reccomend from benchmark as 133fps on tezted while rest have like 60fps ... so i think to change all bundle like

i mean personally i think the rig that you have now is a good gaming machine and if your not doing any content creation or 2k/4k gaming i would say your money would be better spent elsewhere 

[killer5247]

its cool a little old processor just get i7 4770k its an i7 and get 1080 ti and just upgrade ram to 32 gigs thats the limit of your cpu and socket you are having lg 1150 is good to go it will be compsitible and with rest money you can watercool it with new case around 100 bucks or 50 there are good cases on newegg.com 

[Czaja]

My case is good with collers and cpu is cooling on 212evo hyper oced cpu 4.3 at 1.17v gives me stress test temp around 60 and intel burn test passed with max 80 so i dont even look for up the case or so power supply is a corsair 850w so its all roght as well just freq on my memory is not satysfying i think , as i said i dont look for small upgrade to get no differences on gaming . If i do upgrade i do one but good with visible different

dude watercooling can make you happy it can make your GPU awesome it can become 35% better 

[Czaja]

you can learn it its not hard i think so overclocking a cpu is hard but not the GPU

[Czaja]

Cpu is easy  i finished IT sql so bios is not that mystery

[killer5247]

you can overclock the GPU too by using the manufactures Software get MSI or Asus card they are great EVGA looks like crap but good but not better than asus

[Czaja]

Still not zotac

[killer5247]

i said that get 1080 ti 

[killer5247]

zotac is even hard to get serviced so it was your decision thats why everyone says only 4 things MSI ASUS EVGA And Founders Edition

[Czaja]

Whats the price of it raffly then ? Worth a upgrade with keepingg this cpu ?

[killer5247]

hmmm that cpu will bottleneck man you can utilise money by 3 things 1080ti i7 4770k and custom cooling that cpu gonna be in hard time if you pair it with 1080 ti

Download Firestorm from Zotac website if you want to try overclocking your GTX 970.

[killer5247]

750 usd on 1080 ti i7 4790k costs 400 USD water cooling can cost around your choice 

[killer5247]

u can use 700 usd in watercooling your bill is 1750 usd is equals to your budget

[Czaja]

So at all it will be better to sell my pc for 700 pounds and buy 7700k core i7 with 1080 graphic then ^^ i will just add extra 700 pounds and feel the different thanks for link i will try oc my zotac at home
