After a lot of thinking whether to make the jump to Skylake from Sandy Bridge or get an Nvidia 1070, I have decided to get a 1070. I was contemplating getting a 1080 however I can't justify the performance increase you get for the significant price different from a 1070. I currently have an MSI Nvidia 970 which I use for 1440p gaming. It runs every game I play however I have to lower the settings to high or medium in some cases to get a smoother stutter free game play. 1070's are in short supply in the UK at the moment and most are on pre order. I was looking at the following ones:
Gigabyte G1 Gaming
MSI Gaming X
EVGA SC ACX
Not too sure which one is better. Was looking at the MSI since I would like to do a Red/Black build.
I was wondering, I currently have 8GB 1333MHz Crucial RAM would I see much of a performance increase by going to 16GB at 1600MHz, 1866MHz or 2400MHz. My i5 2500k is currently not overclocked and cannot be for some reason because of my motherboard, not sure if that makes a difference
Next I was looking at doing a few cosmetic changes. Since my current case (Corsair 500r) doesn't have a window and is Red/Black, I was looking at a NZXT H440 in red and black. Was wondering if anyone has or had this case and your opinion of it. Since the current cables for my XFX Pro 750W power supply are black, I was looking to change them to fit with the colour scheme. I could re sleeve them myself however after looking at it it seems too complex and time consuming for me to do. I found this cable kit . It states it is for Seasonic power supplies but I vaguely remember seeing that XFX power supplys are rebranded Seasonic.
