What should I upgrade

[GamesIV]

Hello,

So my PC is okay I guess, it has a Intel i7 8700, and a Gtx 1060 3gb, I have 16 gigs of ram, I don't know what I should upgrade like my cpu or gpu, and what part should I get like for ex if I should upgrade my processor say the processor I should get as an upgrade, and same for the GPU!

Do you NEED to upgrade though? Getting stutters? FPS lower than desired?

 

Only thing I see that could hold you back is the 3gb VRAM of the 1060.

I'd say you get a GPU upgrade, as your processer is perfectly fine, and your ram is fine as well. I think that you should maybe consider a 1070ti or a 1080.

3GB will be fine for 1080p gaming for quite a while.

 

OP: I would say don't upgrade unless there's something that you need to upgrade.

Ok thanks btw my processor is not unlocked so rip

That's fine. It's still probably similar or superior to the 8600k.

A locked i7 is still better in games than ryzen, so it's not like you're exactly missing out

[GamesIV]

Well also I what brand should I get if I decide to get a 1070ti or a 1080

1080, overclocked 1070ti can give same performance, but it will produce more heat

Moore's law ain't like it used to be. Coffee lake is also barely better than 6th and 7th gen, which in turn are ever so slightly better than ryzen.

Brand doesn't really matter, but msi, asus, and evga; i personally stay away from gigabyte cause their products are cheaply made. You just gotta look at their options and base it off what you want your pc to look like. Most 1080s have very neat designs

Yeah I like the ausu and msi cards the evga cards look weird

True, but OP hasn't stated the resolution he's gaming in.

Wait a minute, before you upgrade, what's your monitor? What resolution? What refresh rate?

Not much will get done in this day and age at 1440p with a 1060 3GB, but I see your point.

An RX 580 8gb should do the trick.
