Hello fellow Linustechtipsers

 

I am looking to upgrade my computer that I built a couple years back. I live in Sweden and use the Swedish krona, but since this forum is based on US dollars I will be using that. Please remember that buying tech in Sweden is generally more expensive than other countries (I think xD) Thanks. I

 

Now onto my current configuration - 

 

CPU: i5 6600 Skylake (Non-K)

CPU Cooler: Intel Stock for Skylake

Motherboard: MSI M5 270 (something in that fashion)

Graphics card: MSI GTX 960 2GB 

RAM: HyperX 2333 MHz DDR4 2x4 GB (8GB)

Storage: Samsung EVO 850 250GB and a 2TB Seagate HDD

Monitor: ASUS 1920x1080 60hz (Some basic screen) 

PSU: Don't remember exactly, I'm not at home but it has 550 W and modular rated bronze I think

I also have a optical drive.

 

Purpose: Gaming at higher graphics settings as I have to play at low-medium graphical settings playing Player Unknown at everything on lowest.

 

I am thinking of buying a GTX 1070 and a new monitor of some kind, but what do you recommend?

 

So I I have ~1150 US Dollars to upgrade with (about 10 000 Kronor). What should I upgrade, why?

Moar Ram, a 1070, a 6700K, better PSU

-Frequencies DON'T represent everything and in many cases that is true (referring to Individual CPU Clocks).

 

Mention me if you want to summon me sooner or later

Spoiler

My head on 2019 :

Note 10, S10, Samsung becomes Apple, Zen 2, 3700X, Renegade X lol
