upgrading and fixing pc

1onized · August 20, 2018

Hello great people from all over the world.

first a small introduction iam stefan a 27 year old from the netherlands ( europe)

i love gaming when iam at my home and watching show when i have no internet on my laptop ( military life )

iam thinking of upgrading and fixing my current setup

i have buiild this pc uin the summer of 2013 in the years i did replace a few parts

so here it goes

Motherboard

asus p8z 68 v pro used to be a gigabyte ga-x77x-ud3h but it broke down last year

cpu

i5 3570 k

cooler

Noctua NH D14

Ram

2x 8gb corsair vegance at 1600 mhz

2x 4gb  g-skill ripjawx  atr 1600 mhz (came with the motherboard replacement)

total of 24 gb

Videocard

Gigabyte  670 2GB

Soundcard

Asus xonar d2

Harddisk

1x Samsung 830 series SSD 128GB

1x sata 500gb

1x sata 1,5 tb

Power supply

Super Flower Golden Green SF-600

case is a semi broken coolermaster Haf x

iam currently using a sasmung 27 inch fulld hd screen and a ilyama 27 inch full hd screen both about the same age +- 5 -7 years i think

Here comes the problems iam having at the moment.

iam using a Behringer uphoria umc204   with a 10meter xl;r cable connected to a " decent" mic

but for some reason i have to turn the gain up pretty high and there still is alot of noise in teamspeak

iam using it with the usb cable i could try to use a 6.3 jackl to 3,5mm jack and connect it my audio card then it is louder but worse ( analog ofcourse)

so iam thinking of getting a new mic /cable to fix it. it that would work

also ofcourse the 670 videocard is getting old . for most recent games.

my current games arent that great but in the future (1 year orso) i want to trade my monitors for a ulktra wide or a lage 4k one.

so i need a new graphics card.

i dont plan on replacing the entire pc because it still runs the games that i play pretty decent.

i was thinking about getting a

1060 3gb about € 230

the 1060 6gb is about €280

and the 1070 is about € 430

what would you guys do

i was thinking about spending € 500 for the videocard and a new mic /xlr cable if i cant fix the current setup.

can this work or is the old cpu causing a bottleneck

the pc doenst have the be the greatest my main goal is to replace it in less then 2-3 years. i know that sound like a long time but iam playing old skool games like age of empires , command and conquer and warthunder atm.

so if there are any questions let me know. also sorry if my english isn't the best , i havent written something down in ages luckly my speech is a lot better.
