Help deciding on upgrades

stoneliberated · Oct 7, 2014

Ok so I want to get into streaming on Twitch and my current build is:

I5 3570k
Asrock z77 Extreme 6
Corsair Dominator 8gb 1600mhz
Asus R9 280x
Kingston 120gb SSD
WD 750gb HDD
Corsair 850hx power supply

Im debating on if i should just upgrade the gpu to a gtx 780ti or if i should just go ahead and upgrade to an i7 4770k and Mobo/ram or both. Any help would be appreciated.

My buddy streams with literally your exact set up for CPU/GPU. What are you worried about here? There are many guides on what your settings should be and it's trial and error to get it set up and working with your network/system.

I stream with a 2500k and a 760GTX and do just fine.

The only reason you'd need an upgrade is if you want to run at a higher res than 1080p(my monitor is 2560x1440 and it does fine with that 760GTX) <3

i would either get GTX 980 4GB - 65.59% faster or just keep the system as it is .

Im always looking to upgrade, I think i may have an obsession lol. Im just trying to keep as future proof as possible. Would my i5 bottleneck the 980? I really would like to get away from AMD cards.

i5 3570K cant bottleneck GTX 980 . If you overclock it a little , you might see an increase of 10% in FPS .

These guys are right to tell you to get the 980 over the TI. You can overclock it and beat it and its about the same price and uses less energy. But your current system will still be plenty for streaming!
