Planning next move

[Mikealongo]

Hello

A week ago I started a topic because I wanted to upgrade my rig (the cpu basically), but some users told me that it's not a good move and said to me that the would upgrade the Gpu instead (I can afford a 1080ti).

I don't know if the 3770 will bottleneck the 1080ti playing at 1440P with G-sync.

Some others told me to upgrade the ssd on my pc but I want to upgrade it when I can put a M.2 drive in there.

So my question is, what's the next move?? (Maybe not today, maybe not this year, but what's the thing that I should upgrade first)

 

For reference here is my build:

• CPU
  Intel Core i7-3770 @ 3,4GHz
• Motherboard
  Asus Maximus V Formula
• RAM
  16 GB DDR3-SDRAM
• GPU
  GTX 980 Strix
• Case
  Corsair 760T
• Storage
  120 SSD Plus Sanddisk + Seagate Barracuda Green ST1500DL003 1.5TB 5900 6.0Gb/s +2TB Seagate Barracuda 7200 rpm
• PSU
  EVGA superNOVA 850 G2
• Display(s)
  asus swift pg278q 1440p G-sync 
• Cooling
  Corsair H115i All in One Watercooler
• Keyboard
  Razer Blackwidow
• Mouse
  Logitech G600
• Sound
  Logitech z506
• Operating System
  Windows 10

Thanks

If you're trying to achieve above 75Hz frame rates in games, a higher performing CPU is a must. The 1080 Ti will happily play most games at 1440p on high to maximum settings beyond 75 FPS.

I'd sell your 3770 and buy a 3770K. You have a nice motherboard, it will OC well.

I'd recommend upgrading the CPU to something more powerful, the 1080ti will definitely play games above 75fps, max/high settings 1440p. Sell the 3770 and buy a 3770k, it will overclock pretty well, given that you already have a decent cooling solution. As another suggestion, you could upgrade to a haswell based i7-4790k/4770k which requires a Z97 motherboard and reuse the RAM.

If the next move should be the cpu I think that I would go for the top of the line at the moment (right no is the 8700K?), because of the new technology and because it's "futureproof"

But when I could do the upgrade I can only make one of them, I mean, spend 800 € more or less (cpu+Mobo+ram or whatever Ti at the moment). 

 

Edit: Whatever part I'll upgrade I will give the older one to my little brother for free so sell its not an option.
