Upgrading PC

[SafeStrafe]

Hi I'm upgrading my pc, right now I have a 1060 3gb and an i3 6100 and 8gb of ram. I was thinking about getting another 8gb of ram and an i5 8600k, would they be good upgrades, and is my gpu ok for now? I mostly use for gaming and I have a 1080p@60hz res.

 

Thanks, SafeStrafe

Yes, for 1080p gaming a 1060 3GB is just fine, and getting more RAM and a better CPU would give the best bang for your buck. I would, however, go with an i7 8700 as they perform the same, even after overclocking and you'll be able to save money by not having to get a mobo for overclocking and cooler and will also make up more than the price difference. http://cpu.userbenchmark.com/Compare/Intel-Core-i7-8700-vs-Intel-Core-i5-8600K/3940vs3941

8th gen CPUs won't fit in your 6th or 7th gen motherboard. So I'd find a 6700.

Thanks for the reply, I will need a z series motherboard for the cpu to work.

Would i7 7700 be ok?

Ram is expensive and 8 Gb is fine for now in my opinion. I would just upgrade your CPU to an i5 or i7. I do not think that an 8th generation CPU will fit into your current board.

It should be. It fits in the same socket as the i3

Yes, an 8th gen cpu does not fit my mobo.
