Upgrad

[silentstorm161]

So I've just upgraded my PC from the following:

-AMD A6-5400k

-16GB ram

 

to this:

-I7-7700k

-16GB ram

 

i kept my graphics card and PC monitor (750ti and Samsung S24D590PL) so my question is what is worth upgrading first graphics card or monitor.

monitor first

Upgrading from a 750 ti to something better would be a lot more beneficial than upgrading that monitor. Though it does have a high latency, it is 1080p and perfectly fine.

What monitor do you have, what is the resolution?

my question is, what would you upgrade your monitor to? anything above 1080p 60hz (which you currently have) and your 750ti will not be able to fuel it to a satisfactory level of performance.... so really the best you could hope for is a larger 1080p panel, and the larger you make a 1080p panel, the worse its going to look...

So my recommendation would definitely be a GPU first.

If you upgrade either your monitor or gpu, how long would you have to wait to get the other? Also, what is your budget if you get either one?

no, upgrade to 4k first. the 750ti is a pretty strong card

Seems like a mixed reaction with some saying graphics and others saying monitor. 

Looks like I'll have to do some more research and see which is more beneficial to do first.

Save money, do both at the same time.

[Spenser1337]

Definitely upgrade the gpu

 

don't understand the benefit of a 7700k and 750ti

When I was on your situation, upgraded from a Core2Duo + GTX 560ti to the i7 7700 + Titan X I honestly kept using the old monitor for about 2 months, an old 1680x1050p 22inch TN panel, personally it was fine enough though I had a 1920x1080p 40 inch TV to play games at too.

 

God it felt good the first day I could hook up my shining brand new 2560x1080p 29 inch monitor nonetheless.

If i was to upgrade from a 750ti what should i upgrade to? looking for for maybe 4K in future (when i get the monitor) and spending around £300, maximum £400.

If you are willing to go above 300 pounds, look for a card like this one.

The GTX 1070 fits well within 300-400 pounds, and it'll keep you set for AT LEAST another 5 years.
