2018 PC Part reccommendations.

[parkelectric]

Hey guys,

I just wanted to ask a few questions regarding a new potential PC build. My budget is fairly large but my biggest problem is that I'm from Canada.

PC parts here are notoriously expensive for instance an i7-7700K is worth over 400 CAD.

Now my question is if i should rebuild with certain parts or just keep my current PC.

 

Currently I have this as specs:

i7-4770S w/ stock cpu fan

Average PSU

nVidia 1060 6gb Zotac Amp edition

24G of DDR3 Ram

240 G SSD

1TB Black WD 7200 RPM HDD

ASUS B85M-G motherboard.

not sure what else to post here as I'm kind of new to askign for advice.

Just let me know if you recommend me changing anything because to replace and downgrade the parts i already have will cost me over 800$ CAD.

That's still a solid rig, GPU is probably your weakest link but still solid. i7 4th gen still solid, still has a few good years on it until it starts to show its age.

Nice, I'd pay 800$ for that. I wouldn't worry about performance for a few generations but with i3 now being a 4 core part I'm kinda wondering how fast 4 core i7 will lose their value.(ー_ーゞ

I'd recommend using PCPartPicker for organizing and finding prices for parts. It heps with compatibilities, pricing, and finding good alternatives.

 

From what I can tell, your old build is still alright - and with the current situation of the parts market, I'd push off a new build until it's essential.

And just as a miscellaneous note, I'd find out what PSU you're currently running to see if you'd be able to re-use it in the next build (and also take a look at the PSU Tier List).

MY PSU is a Thermaltake 650 W
