Looking to start building a new PC once the 11 series GPU are released. I have not been around in the PC tech world for some time so for me to look at CPU's VS Memory VS GPU VS Motherboard. I am unaware for what I should be looking for. Likely I will purchase the 1160/1170, I was curious about the Ryzen 5 1600x as the price range right now would be great. Keep in mind, I am looking to start the build now so that when the GPU comes out I will not have to pay 2000 dollars. Any help would be great where to start, I will be using this for a gaming rig. I would like to see some great GFX without breaking the bank.

 

Thanks for all of your help.

 

OLD PC:

i7 4770

16GB DDR3

8GB 1070 GPU

27" 144HZ 1ms refresh on monitor

 

Cheers

well if i have a ASUS GTX 1070 8gb Turbo, worth the 1080? which processor would you suggest then? when is the DDR5 memory coming out? Also do motherboards really make that much of a difference?

1080 isn’t worth it if that’s what you’re asking. If you just plan to game the 8600k will do. We don’t officially know when DDR5 is coming out (I think)  and it depends for the motherboard. If you’re overclocking you’re gonna want better VRM’s and such and the more expensive motherboards probably have better build quality and more stuff

Your old CPU is still fine for gaming, just throw in a new GPU and maybe wait for Ryzen 3000 if you want more cores on the cheap.

I edit my posts a lot, Twitter is @LordStreetguru just don't ask PC questions there mostly...
 

Spoiler

 

What is your budget/country for your new PC?

 

what monitor resolution/refresh rate?

 

What games or other software do you need to run?
