Hey Guys,
So what I have now:
i7 4790k @ stock speed /cooled with a hyper 212 evo
MSI Z97 gaming 5
8gig ram @1600mhz
nvidia geforce GTX 970
samsung 840 evo 250GB
2TB western digital HDD (old one)
850 watt PSU
Windows 10
dual 1080p monitors
So here are a couple of questions to help me make the right decisions because I want to decide if I should upgrade and what I should upgrade.
First of all, is it a 'good moment' to bump up to 1440p gaming or is it in any way better to wait?(this question in general but also with my build in mind and what I have to upgrade to achieve that)
If I would upgrade to a 1440p monitor is it enough to only upgrade the GPU or will other parts of my pc bottleneck it to the point that it's a waste of money? What I for example notice when I play Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Wildlands (which I can only play at medium settings) is that my 8gig ddr 3 RAM is constantly close to maxed out. (80-90%)
Or is it better/worth it to do a big upgrade now to the new i5 7600 for example with a new MOBO and ddr 4 ram and a 1070/1080 if I choose for 1440p gaming?
Thanks in advanced!
