Time for an upgrade....

[KyeH]

Hey everyone,

 

so my PC is just over 5 years old now and it's safe to say it's starting to run into some issues.

I'm not going to go into all of them now but just trust me <3. 

 

So before I go into the list I just want to mention that I am keeping my GPU and current storage (SSD & 2 HDD) and am also going to get a new HDD.

I also wanted to say that I got the GPU at the start of 2018 so that's why its overkill for my other components (somewhat)....

 

My current specs are -

CPU : Intel Core i7-4770

COOLER : Intel Stock....
GPU : MSI GeForce GTX 1080 *KEEPING*
MOBO : Asus Z87-Pro
OS : Windows 10 64 Bit
RAM : 16GB DDR3-1600 (2x8GB)
SSD: Samsung 850 Pro 256GB *KEEPING*
HDD 1: 2TB WD Blue *KEEPING*
HDD 2: 1TB Seagate 7200.12 *FAULTY OLD BOOT HDD ALMOST DEAD NOT KEEPING*
HDD 3: 500GB Seagate 7200.14 *KEEPING*

 

Now before I show my new list of what I am going to get I am going to talk about why I am upgrading and how many monitors I have etc etc....

 

I am upgrading because as I said my PC is slowly losing performance and is in need of upgrades.

 

I am going to be using the computer for gaming, streaming, video editing and school work (plus anything else I will need it for)

 

I have tried to future proof this PC so it will last me for hopefully another 5 years.

 

I am running two monitors currently but somewhere down the line I will probably get a third.

 

I already own all my peripherals so I am fine on that part.

 

Finally, I live in Australia so obviously I am shopping in AUD.

 

Ok and now for my list....

I render 4K video with GPU assist and it uses 100 % cpu when exporting and fans go nuts.... but the editing process is fine. I also have a intel stock air cooler :\

Looks good all the way down (though you could skimp a tiny bit more on the PSU if you so felt like it).

 

Great choice with the 8700k.

Total budget for the upgrade?

Thanks

 

And I don't really have any more in my budget :\

Actually I am going to try and get a HX850 Platinum

You really don't need that wattage at all. Myself, I would get a 650. If for some reason I felt like I needed to burn more money for no reason, I'd get MAX a 750W.

Build looks good. No complaints from me.

I just reckon the 850 is more future proof, thats all.
