Hi all,
I'm looking for some feedback in a decision I'm soon to be making in starting to replace my current PC part by part. I've decided the time has come to upgrade my current setup to something I'd like to call relatively future-proof (I know that's a high expectation) as current gen games just aren't enjoyable on my current rig.
I originally purchased an entry level PC a couple of years back and have since upgraded the GPU and PSU, my current build is as follows -
Processor: AMD Athlon II X4 750K
GPU: GTX 760
Hard Drive: 1TB SATA3 6Gbps
RAM: 8gb DDR3
PSU: Corsair VS Series 550
I've decided to start with a new mobo, CPU and RAM as these three will be able to be installed straight away into my current case.
The setup I'm looking at buying is -
Intel Core i5 7600K
Corsair Vengeance LPX Black 8GB DDR4
Asus Prime Z270-A
The main purpose of the PC is gaming but is sometimes also used for editing.
My long term plans once I've upgraded the mobo, CPU and RAM is to then give the GPU an upgrade to either a 1070 or 1080 depending on price at the time, to then upgrade my case to a Thermaltake P5 and get the CPU & GPU on openloop water, I've decided to cool it this way in the end due to it being a little bit of a project and would look lovely in the Thermaltake case. Final thing to upgrade would be the monitor to something of a higher resolution (perhaps 4k?)
I'm just looking for some clarification if this build is practical or whether or not I'm going overkill at the very start.
Thanks in advance!
