Are you for real? his current board is a Z97 and all it needs is an i7 4770K or 4790K to make it a much better machine. 

Yeah, 4 generations late, no ddr4, no nvme, no usb 3.1 etc. Longer upgrade path.

+$150 for new processor make sense.

But if you have enough to build new one, why not?

Alright so send me some links

Spec him a system for $350 that is a worthwhile upgrade to what he has and gives him a measurable performance boost with his 1050.

because its not worth the money. you get much more for your money by buying a 4790k + SSD than new ram, new cpu and new board.

will he really  use those features tho ???

Does it matter if it's 4 generations old? the 4790K is still an absolute beast in gaming and if you compare it to the 6700K there really isn't much in it.

Ooh shit my mistake

yes, 4790k

$350 - the new system

 

sell old parts :

8gb ddr3 + pentium - $50 + $40 --> extra 8gb DDR4

z97 - $150 ---> NVME ssd

 

you got yourself a new beast pc.

[Tiberiusisgame]

K or no K, it's still a better upgrade for the money. But OP doesn't like used gear.

You're banking on OP being able to sell his current gear. Also, your logic doesn't track. What is RAM + Pentium - $50 + $40 > DDR4 RAM? What does that mean?

He’s saying, spend the $90 he’s get from those parts on ddr4 ram. 

[SupaKomputa]

No i'm not, the $350 already covers everything OP need.

Selling old parts just to add the specs up.

 

8gb ddr3 ($50 used) + pentium ($40 used) --> extra 8gb DDR4 on top of 8gb already in the list

 

[sparkythewildcat]

Also, Lol @ OP for posting for suggestions in a forum then blindly ignoring the 90% of people telling him to just put in a new processor.

I don't see a spec listed anywhere on page 1. I see you suggest he buy a new Ryzen system. Am I blind?

[sparkythewildcat]

For real, op, if you want the “best you can get for $350”, like you said you would, then you’d be dumb to do anything besides buy a 4th gen i7, sell your pentium and whenever your unhappy with your gpu, sell it and put that money, plus the money left over from that $350 and buy a 1070/1160 if it’s out by then. Do that and your computer will SHIT ON whatever new platform pc you’d get for a $350 upgrade. Plus, the 4770/4790k will be relevant for at least as long as the ryzen 1600/ whatever new Intel processor you’d get with that budget.

Also, your main argument of “and what will I do later, be stuck on a dead platform and have to upgrade?” Makes NO sense. You’re telling me the reason you Want to blow your money on upgrading to a new platform is so you WONT have to upgrade to a new platform? Seems legit. 

 

Get this. Literally EVERY platform is a dead platform, eventually. Having that money to spend in the next 3-5 years when you’re looking to upgrade will be WAY better than having your funds invested/ties up in a platform that’s new today and will be dead end by the time you’re planning to upgrade next time.

You think that’s the best price you can gets 4790k at? Lol I literally just bought a 3770k and 16gb of ram for $200 shipped. A 4670k, 4690k,4770, 4771, or 4770k would all be suitable upgrades as well, if you really can’t get a 4790k for less than ~$250. 

 

Op, check out r/hwswap. Much better than eBay, IMO. 

[SupaKomputa]

Yes i understand 4790k is a beast of cpu, just throwing another alternative.

If i were him, i would just upgrade to new system and be done with it.

yes, bc putting a Samsung 960 ssd is the top priority for ALL the owners of 1050tis. Maybe he should upgrade to a 1900x in case he wants to add a 1950x to get 16 core performance with that 960 ssd and 1050ti, today...
