Posted November 27, 2017 Hello all! My current PC is lacking quite a bit the last few months, given it's age of almost 7 or 8 years old, it isn't too surprising. So I thought it will be time for a upgrade! Budget & Location My budget is around 1000/1200 euro. (Netherlands for Location) Aim for the new PC The aim for the new PC is to do standard web-browsing and play newer games with more FPS instead of a measly 10 FPS. Games like Fall Out 4, GTA 5. Such titles, since my current PC can't handle them. My aim is to game at 1440p. Monitors I currently have 2 monitors, a Samsung Smart TV and a BenQ2222HDL monitor. Peripherals Mouse + Keyboard I have, will be upgraded later. Monitors I will take suggestions for, I don't play FPS games, so I'm looking for nice colors on my screen instead ;-). Why am I upgrading My current PC is around 7 or 8 years old, it's rocking a Intel 7 870, 8 gigs of Ram, a GTX 950 (All I could afford at the last upgrade I made to it). It's beginning to show it's age, and I really want to play more recent titles without having any problems for the future. Thank you for reading and trying/willing to help to pick my next PC! Greetings, Ryujin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted November 28, 2017 Author I checked out my profile on PCPartPicker, and I found this old build of mine (Which is close to the price I want, sure it can be fixed ofc.) Link: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/4h4rNN But then I saw the PCPP list you provided, between the I7 7700k VS R5 1600, which would be better for 1440p gaming? Else I'd go with this one (https://pcpartpicker.com/list/XH2Pd6), perhaps get another case for it and another graphic card (I don't really find a White build that attractive... Black/Grey-ish would be prefered by me). And wouldn't a 1070 be enough for 1440p gaming? Or would the 1080 give so much more FPS and smoother gameplay? If you could answer the question, I can make up my mind and start working on a PCPP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted November 28, 2017 Author I'm gonna bump this with a new question: On what CPU should I focus on to get my build going: Ryzen 5 1600, I7 7700k, i5 8600k/8400? And between a 1070 and 1080 for 1440p, which one should be the one picked? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
