Looking for advice to get full potential out of my build.

applezyep · Jan 9, 2014

Currently Running:

Z77 asrock
Intel I73770
16gbram
Nvidia 780 GTX TI
Win 8 64-bit.

Ive got some cash atm and want to make some upgrades to my computer and get it running abit faster. I have not overclocked anything and have been curious to wether i should start soon or not. Just looking for some good advice to wether i should maybe upgrading my motherboard and cpu to a 4thgen or if i should consider overclocking. I have a case atm with plenty of room so cooling isnt an issue atm. I play alot of graphic needing games and want to be able to get my gtx working at its full capacity....well as much as i can. My Build is purely for gaming so if anyone has any essential reccomendations on something else that would be good to have just let me know.

Thanks

You could upgrade to a 4960x and get a second card for SLI if you really wanted, it depends on your budget.

With those specs you don't need to touch your cpu or gpu. But then again you could be playing at 4k resolution so I wouldn't know. Anyway if you really feel like spending some money the only thing that could use an upgrade is your motherboard. For 1080p gaming everything you listed should be okay at this point in time.

A 4930k though would be an upgrade.

Get BIG display, gaming keyboard & mouse, and the best games out there to try.

Just forked out a load for the 780ti. SLI im not really considering cause this 780ti seems to be doing the job atm. Just curious to wether i should try overclock the 3770(not k) or if i should go for a 4thgen Motherboard and cpu. If i did that is it going to make that much of a huge difference or not. I just feel that running such a powerfull gfx card on my system atm im not getting what i should be getting out of it. I also forgot to menchen im running the Gigabyte OC version.

thanks

You cannot overclock your chip. I would get some really nice peripherals, your CPU is plenty powerful.

Have the Benq XL2720T, blackwidow and a deathadder. Play alot of BF4 Dayz etc. Computer runs fine on these games just want to know if there anyupgrading worth doing to increase performance, eg (cpu, motherboard)

Glad we can help out. What is your budget? Only upgrade I can think of is a second 780 or a 4930k/4960x.

Got around $800 to spend but am able to fork out more and save if need be. Not too sure if i want to fork out for a 4960x though cause then ill have to get a new mb too

Go for the 4930k then, the 4960x is just overkill. I mean so is the 4930k, but the 4960x is... double overkill.

applezyep · Jan 9, 2014

and not sure if my mb would be able to handle another 780

applezyep · Jan 9, 2014

id have to go for a new mb if i was going to get the 4930k yeah ?

ewok93 · Jan 9, 2014

Yes you would, but you can afford it with your budget.

applezyep · Jan 9, 2014

Cheers
