Upgrading

[Skidmarkx]

Im looking to upgrade my graphics card and I'm not sure what to get. My system is a bit dated and i plan on building a new system in the next 2-3 years. Im looking to buy a 27in 1440p monitor black Friday.  Id like to get a newer graphics card knowing that i might use it in my future build. This is my current gaming system

 

intel i7 4770k

ausus sabertooth z87

16 gig ddr3

2x sli gtx 660ti

 

Im just a casual gamer and mainly play assassins creed, far cry, mmo’s. I started playing star citizen wich made me realize i might need to upgrade my gpu at least. I was thinking of getting a gtx 1060 or 1070 .but not sure if its worth spending the money on a higher end gpu.

Right now 1070 ti prices are the same as a 1070, though I did see a used but in new condition 1070 founders edition for $300. Yes it is very much worth the money. And a 1060 will not be able to handle 1440p gaming

If you have money to spare I suggest upgrading to DDR4 memory and your cpu is fine.

You can't just... upgrade from DDR3 to DDR4 without a CPU (or MoBo) swap.

I didnt check your motherboard 

 

just checked, changing to DDR4 might not be worth that then

I don't think my mobo will suport ddr4. At least its not listed on the specs.

that's never bad to do if you know what you;re doing. I would also recommend a 1070 ti, 1080 ti or second hand 980 ti. just have a good cooler on both and not like the aero series from msi.
