  1. 1. Is my PC "Good" https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/b/6jnH99



I just finished upgrading my PC and was wondering if its considered "good" I know X58 is old but i got a good deal on a board. Do you think the CPU is a bottleneck for the GPU? its almost 9 years old but it has a similar multicore score to the I7 7700K in Cinebench, I'm overall happy with my system. Last year for my 15th Birthday i sold my Xbox one and built an FX8350 system and now a year later i built this, ill never go back to consoles. I also got a 4K TV (I PC game on a recliner not a desk) so i was wondering if i should upgrade my GPU soon or wait for next gen

I would change the PSU because EVGA cheaped out on the capacitors with Chinese CapXon ones. Not good for such a crucial component.

 

CPU itself is fine, but working mobo will be harder and harder to find, if yours fail (which it will, most likely before the CPU fails)

 

How about a GTX 980? Consumes a lot less power, but this is up to you since you dont care about fps too much

 

Edit: I'll say the system is 7/10 good. Marks taken off because of 1) bad PSU, 2) hungry graphics card 3) no future upgradability to speak of
