Hello,
I've had my PC for nearly 7 years now and I've been noticing some drops in performance, especially when I compare games that were released a long time ago and are getting constantly updated which stresses my PC I guess.
My current setup is: Intel core i5 760 (quite old yeah), 8gb of DDR3 ram, a GTX 1060 6GB and a Samsung SSD 850 EVO and 2gb HDD, all running on a Windows 7 Pro.
I recently bought the GTX 1060 to replace my old GTX 460 so I'm looking to keep it when I decide to upgrade.
I wanted to upgrade the CPU to i5 7600k or i7 7700k before, but now I'm unsure if I should wait for the next gen. Intel's and AMD's processors to come out.
I'm likely not going to buy the Intel's core X line-up as it seems overpriced for what I'm going to use it for (Gaming).
For now I have a 1080p monitor @60Hz refresh rate, but I was thinking about buying a 2K monitor @165Hz with G-sync which is why I thought I should upgrade everything as I get this new monitor, this means: new case (Probably Define R5 from Fractal), a new mobo + CPU + 16gb of DDR4 ram and an "upgrade" to Windows 10 Pro.
I'm looking to upgrade mid-August but I don't mind waiting a bit more.
The only trouble I have now is as Intel and AMD are in competition again, I'm wondering what will come up with DirectX12 and if this new PC I'm about to build will last. I thought maybe I should wait for the 2nd gen of Ryzen CPUs or coffee lake.
Maybe you'll have some suggestions especially on the mobo + CPU combo I should buy, I think the i7 7700k along with a z270 mobo would let me run any AAA title and it would be good for now, but I'm looking to keep that setup for 3-4 years at least.
Keep in mind that I'm not willing to spend more than 750$ on the mobo/CPU/ram combo.
Have a great day,
Wacom3.
