upgrades

[noot]

Current: Z68motherboard / 3470s / 650ti / 4x4gb 1600 ddr3 / 250gb 850 evo / 2tb baracuda / 750w psu / M40x headphones / XF240H monitor freesync

 

Want: HD599s / 2600k / gtx970 or 580 4gb / dac+amp / NH-D15 (for oc) / meshify c mini / 550w psu

 

cost: $750

 

Will this be enough to last me a handful of years? (3-4years)

It depends on your specific needs. It would not be a good streaming PC (while it can do basic streaming, full-time streaming would not be optimal with that setup) but for just productivity, browsing the web, and casual gaming with some other demanding games, that setup will be fine. 

 

Edit: I would recommend you getting a better CPU though...

gaming is my goal, being able to run games at high setting with mixed optimized tweaks... I want to play any game at 1080p and have an enjoyable time, *650ti 20fps* is my ache

high setting... better CPU would be required if you wanna run with high settings.

my dilemma is choosing a 970 or the 580 4gb , i have a freesync panel and its only $50 more for the 580, but with the mining... used cards are sketchy towards newer efficient cards > 580

well, idk about that look at benches with the 2600k vs 8700k not much difference especially when you oc the 2600k to its potential 5Ghz

 

 

THAT IS GAMING 8700k destroys the 2600k in productivity

That's a load of crap. I had a fx 8350 and that thing would manage high settings just fine with some slight tweaks. You just can't break past 60 fps with the 8350 but the cpu doesn't matter nearly as much as along as you adjust settings and aren't shooting for above 60 fps.

They are full of crap. Your current cpu would be enough for 60 fps not to mention the 2600k.

yup and I think it could manage 144 fps fine with minimum bottleneck

2600k is a bit old but does great. Don't expect crazy fast processing times or flawless benchmark results. Just a video edit here and there and maybe some 3D work.

 

It will do fine.

 

I recommend you get a 970/ti.

 

Could i know your PSU please?

It will be alright. Not the best, but alright. In 2-3 years you might see DDR5 released.
