PC Upgrade - Worth it or not?

[NeRo-PC]

Hi,

 

my name is Leon and im planning on Upgrading my System.

 

Im currently running:

 

Gforce 760 GTX

Intel I5 with 2x3,0 Ghz if i remember correctly

2x4gb ddr3

and some gigabyte motherboard

 

and planning to upgrade to:

 

ASUS Strix Z270F

Intel COre i5-7600K

Palit GeForce GTX 1060 3 or 6 gb (not entirely sure yet if the 6bg is worth it - opinions please. and im only buying one of those when they go back down in price they went from like 225€ to 350€+)

 

Would the new system be stable and most importantly would it bottleneck on a part.

Also would there be better options on some of the Parts.

 

I am only planning on replacing my Motherboard the Gcard and the Processor since the rest of my stuff like my ssd and hdd's and case and powersupply are still fairly new

 

 

Thx in advance

 

 

Leon

You would be bottle necked by the 3gb of VRAM on your GPU. It is well worth it to get the 6gb version. Also, why go on an older platform like the Z270? Why not go Z370 and a 8600k or something similar?

Wait for next gen to be released, increased supply means lower price, can't really get any worse.

If I was you, I would wait for GPU upgrade. Atm GPU prices gone off the rails. Unless you got friends in high places to get you 1060 at reasonable price, don't bother until new gen in released.

 

CPU upgrade looks nice.

 

Oh and get 6GB version, 3GB will bottleneck in modern games.

you can probably keep everything appart from the GPU and be very happy with your upgrade. and either 3 or 6 will be huge and you'd barely see the difference

thx for the quick answers i guess i will wait for next gen gfx cards then because im not willing to pay more than the launch price for something thats just dumb.

 

as for the post from legacy: to be honest i still dont fully understand the difference between slightly old and brand new gen mainboards. like im not big into overclocking and dont know much about it but if i want to run my cpu and gfx card stock what would be the difference between the "old" and the "new".

 

the only thing i noticed about it is that the 8000 series have 6 cores at lower ghz rates but i think most games i run (CS:GO, LoL, the new battlefield if its any good, R6 Siege) dont run well on 6 cores. but like i said thats more educated guesses than hard fact
