Hello, I built a gaming computer a few years ago and wanna get back into my gaming however I feel that my computer is a bit out dated now and would like some advice on what I should upgrade first and what to upgrade it with. Current setup is pictured below...EEF9D386-B375-43BE-8B07-8BC92B98D1DE.thumb.png.04bfd874ae003107b631c1a9749ad46e.png

I used a gtx 1070 with my 4790k, sky is the limit with that CPU

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

 

Primary PC:

i7 8086k - EVGA Z370 Classified K - G.Skill Trident Z RGB - WD SN750 - Jedi Order Titan Xp - Hyper 212 Black (with RGB Riing flair) - EVGA G3 650W - dual booting Windows 11 and Fedora Linux - Black and green theme, Razer brainwashed me.

Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference.

 

PSU tier list

How many watts do I need?

I was thinking about getting that But since mine seems to be playing fine atm I think I’ll give it 6 months. The cpu was one of the best purchases I ever made.

For sure. The diminishing returns haven't even kicked in with consumer GPUs with that CPU yet, so next generation should also be fine.
