Upgrading Help

[Aspect11]

So I don't know if this is in the right place, but anyway I currently have a Gigabyte Z97X Gaming 3, a Intel Core I7 4790K and a Gigabyte G1 Gaming GTX 970. So I am looking to upgrade my CPU and GPU, making me upgrade my motherboard as well. So I don't want to spend lots, but what do you think would be the best upgrades for the future if I am mainly focused on gaming. I can go for Intel and AMD for the CPU and Nvidia and AMD for the GPU.

 

 

Thanks!

I'd upgrade GPU, at least when prices go down to a 1070Ti/1080Ti. Hold out one more generation for CPUs. Your 4790k is more than good right now,.especially if you OC it.

So if I was to upgrade my GPU right now what would I pick, AMD or Nvidia. OR should I wait for Nvidia's 11th generation 'Volta'?

I would pick nvidia, but still wait a while as gpu prices are balls crazy

So should I wait for 11th gen or wait for prices to go down on 10th gen?

It depends.  By the time prices will have gone down, 11th gen will be out so you'll just have to wait and see.

Your CPU is perfectly capable, I think it would only become an issue once you're running a 1080 or above. Make sure you overclock it to get every bit of perf you can.

A gpu is where you'll see the most gains. Usually I'd recommend a 1070/1080 or v56/v64 depending on what deals are about. but pricing is soo fucked I can't really recommend buying anything new.

You might be able to find something like a 980ti 2nd hand for a good price?deffo worth a look
