Upgrade?

[Alex7875]

Hey, I'm currently looking to upgrade my PC, and I was wondering if all I had to do, was to change the graphics card for a better one? To my casual eyes, it looks as if that is the only thing needing a change, to reach those delicious FPS. Thanks!

 

Specs:

GPU: GTX 970 4gb

Memory: 16gb DDR4

Mainboard: Z270-Gaming K3

Processor: Intel Core i7 6700K

Power: VS650

Money isn't an issue

Then a GTX 1080 is the best bet with 8 gigabytes of VRAM, usually >$500. But if you want to future proof your machine for a little longer a GTX 1080ti would do just that adding and extra 3gb's to the VRAM , however they're selling around >$750. Or if you're wanting to save a little money an RX 580 is a good alternative to the GTX 1080.

So, I only need to exchange the card and not the other components?

Everything else looks fine. Just the GPU is lacking.

i would wait for next gen gpus, they're right around the corner and for the same money you'll be getting a much better gpu than a 1080

I'd get a 1070ti over a 1080 anyways but yeah I'd wait too two rumors July 31st or ganerscon so if you can hold off a month... Plus pricing is said to lower soon cuz of a influx in Stock so
