What should I look to upgrade in the future?

Marcus0410 · Dec 12, 2016

Hey,

I think i will upgrade to a better cpu (for example: Intel core i5 6600K), but for this processor I would need a new motherboard, PSU and maybe even a new pc case because of heat and airflow.

Should I buy this processor and a new PSU and motherboard? If so what motherboard and PSU?

Or should I go with another processer that is already compatible with my PC? If so which processor?

PC Specs:
Intel core i5-4440s 2.8 ghz
Asus k30ad m31ad m51ad motherboard
500W Delta dps-500ab-6
MSI Aero GTX 1070 8GB
8GB Ram
Windows 10 64 bit

An OEM machine that you added a video card to?

I would start with that risky power supply to protect your GPU investment.

And, yes, eventually replace the motherboard, CPU, and memory, and case.

Eximo :

Should I upgrade the PSU as soon as possible? And would it be risky not to upgrade for 1-3 months?

What PSU should i buy?

If I were you, yes. If money doesn't allow, you are already taking the risk now, so a few more weeks shouldn't matter too much.

It is best to look at this list and compare it against what is available in your area and price range.

This is the best website for buying computer parts in my country: www.komplett.no

Would you mind finding a suitable PSU?
Thanks for the help!

They keep a pretty good stock of high quality power supplies, and no real bad ones that I can see. I'm not really sure how much money that is to you though.

They have a lot of good EVGA models, but they seem to be larger than you need.

If you need to spend less the Corsair VS is decent, but I thought they stopped making those. They might have been sitting on a shelf for a while with them...
