Posted August 15, 2017 I'm looking to upgrade my pc in the next few days as my motherboard has stopped working. My budget is $1000 AUD for the upgrade but I would like to save money if possible. My goal is too run Overwatch with 250+ fps on all low settings whilst streaming too twitch using obs. (I dont really mind what quality the stream is as long as its watchable) I would like to over clock (I have never over clocked before) The parts that im keeping are: EVGA GeForce GTX 970 4GB ACX 2.0 NZXT S340 Corsair CX 600W 80+ Bronze And my two monitors (1 is 60hz, 1 is 144hz) My planned parts for the upgrade are: AMD - Ryzen 7 1700 ASRock X370 Taichi ATX AM4 Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR4-3000 Memory Also if there is anything that would help to improve ping that would also help. (I am using Ethernet ATM) Any tips to improve this would be greatly appreciated. Cheers Harry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted August 15, 2017 According to http://gpu.userbenchmark.com/Compare/Nvidia-GTX-1070-vs-Nvidia-GTX-970/3609vs2577 you would gain 30 fps @ 1080 high settings in overwatch for 122 fps over 93 fps. No specs for low settings are given though . You could ebay the 970 for the crypto miners, I just looked on ebay https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=p2380057.m570.l1313.TR12.TRC2.A0.H0.Xgtx+970.TRS0&_nkw=gtx+970&_sacat=0 and it looks like the card it going for about 200 dollars which would offset the cost of the 1070.

Posted August 15, 2017 1. Your current PSU sucks. Corsair (Actually, the OEM that produced this model for Corsair) cheaped out the parts inside so they degrade faster than a PSU should. If you have used it for more than 3 years then replace it so it doesn't have a chance to fry the PC. 2. What's your current CPU and why are you upgrading? 3. X370 board is unnecessary unless you need SLI support or like the looks so much. Otherwise, get the cheaper B350 ones CPU: i7-2600K 4751MHz 1.44V (software) --> 1.47V at the back of the socket Motherboard: Asrock Z77 Extreme4 (BCLK: 103.3MHz) CPU Cooler: Noctua NH-D15 RAM: Adata XPG 2x8GB DDR3 (XMP: 2133MHz 10-11-11-30 CR2, custom: 2203MHz 10-11-10-26 CR1 tRFC:230 tREFI:14000) GPU: Asus GTX 1070 Dual (Super Jetstream vbios, +70(2025-2088MHz)/+400(8.8Gbps)) SSD: Samsung 840 Pro 256GB (main boot drive), Transcend SSD370 128GB PSU: Seasonic X-660 80+ Gold Case: Antec P110 Silent, 5 intakes 1 exhaust Monitor: AOC G2460PF 1080p 144Hz (150Hz max w/ DP, 121Hz max w/ HDMI) TN panel Keyboard: Logitech G610 Orion (Cherry MX Blue) with SteelSeries Apex M260 keycaps Mouse: BenQ Zowie FK1 Model: HP Omen 17 17-an110ca CPU: i7-8750H (0.125V core & cache, 50mV SA undervolt) GPU: GTX 1060 6GB Mobile (+80/+450, 1650MHz~1750MHz 0.78V~0.85V) RAM: 8+8GB DDR4-2400 18-17-17-39 2T Storage: HP EX920 1TB PCIe x4 M.2 SSD + Crucial MX500 1TB 2.5" SATA SSD, 128GB Toshiba PCIe x2 M.2 SSD (KBG30ZMV128G) gone cooking externally, 1TB Seagate 7200RPM 2.5" HDD (ST1000LM049-2GH172) left outside Monitor: 1080p 126Hz IPS G-sync Desktop benching: Cinebench R15 Single thread:168 Multi-thread: 833 SuperPi (v1.5 from Techpowerup, PI value output) 16K: 0.100s 1M: 8.255s 32M: 7m 45.93s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My budget is only $1000 AUD so even if i could sell my graphics card for $300 i would still be around 300$ off, which i money i dont have, I also need this by the end of the week, as my current motherboard has stopped working and i need an upgrade.

Yes, but B350 ones already have appropriate amount of VRMs. B350 and X370 all support 3200MHz DDR4 at most. LAN speed is the same You will need a very good audio system and ears to hear the difference. Not like those on X370 can replace professional sound cards anyway.
