Hi!
I'd like to upgrade my PC that has the following specs:
CPU: i7 3820@ 4.2Ghz with evo cooler
Motherboard: Asrock x79 Extreme 4
Chase: Thermaltake Overseer with 4x 20cm fan
RAM: Corsair Vengance 16gb
GPU: 2x GTX 970
PSU: Corsair 850
HDD: 1TB
SSD: 128GB
Monitor resolution: dual monitors
- 2560x1400
- 1920x1080
I streamed games for 1 year but whenever I try to stream nowadays I get bluescreen (Win10). I guess it's because of the temps, tho when I stress test my PC it works well.
Anyway, I decided to upgrade my PC but I'm not sure where to start. I'd like to buy a mid/high, up-to-date CPU but the socket is different than the newer CPUs. Therefore I might need to change my motherboard too?
Should I buy a better CPU with this socket even though it's not the newest socket? Or should I go for the new sockets with a new Motherboard/CPU?
Price is also a big factor that's why I'd like to achieve the best value for the best price which is also a good choice for the future if I need to upgrade again.
Mainly I use my PC for graphic/video editing also for 3Ds Max and games (Overwatch/Player's Unknown Battlegrounds). My aim is to get a durable/stable system that has solid FPS while streaming and when playing competitively OW.
Thank you in advance!
Best regards,
Tom
