Ivy Bridge Upgrades

Hey guys I need some advice on upgrading my PC.

I originally planned on a whole new PC build but here 'downunder' that would cost me about 3k for what I want so now ive fallen back to the back up plan of upgrading parts of my current system.

Current:
3570k
MSI Mpower z77
GTX 760 MSI GAMING
Corsair Vengeance 2133 8GB.

I use my PC for mostly gaming but have just started getting into video editing with the recent purchase of a drone, my cpu handles this fine with a stable oc at 5ghz so not looking at a cpu upgrade.
The obvious upgrade im looking at is getting a 1080ti to replace the 760, would this bottle neck on a 3570k?

For memory im not to sure on, would i benefit from upgrading the ram at all?

Any advice is appreciated. Thanks

If you're at 5GHz then the 1080 makes a lot of sense. A little bottleneck here and there for the super core/thread hungry games like battlefield, but it Shou do you nicely.

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?

PSU misconceptions, protections explained, group reg is bad

A lot as long as the game actually have things for the CPU to do. My 2600k at 4.5GHz is boardline bottlenecking the 1070 in AC: Origins 1080p very high, an overall demanding game.

 

You definitely want more RAM for editing, unless you arent serious in it.

It's only been recently with some new titles such as forza horizon that's struggled on my system and that's due to the low memory on the gpu (2GB), others such as witcher 3 have been manageable so I'm hoping that a better gpu should fix that and keep me going

If you're from Australia, you should watch this guy's YT channel to get an idea on good deals on used parts since you don't want to go all brand new.

Also Hardware Canucks did a review of using a 1080 Ti and an i7-2600k. That should give you an idea on performance going if upgrading to an i7.

CPU: Sempron 2500+ / P4 2.8E / P4 2.6C / A64 x2 4000+ / E6420 / E8500 / i5-3470 / i7-3770
