Hi, I am looking to upgrade my PC. These are my current specs. https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/cLsgVY
You may have noticed that I have no GPU. Thats because i recently sold my 1050 Ti to CEX for a £115 voucher. Right now, cex sell i7 6700s for £165, and I think I could sell my 6600k for around £175. I would then buy a i7-6700, leaving me with £125. With this money, I could manage to get a used gtx 970, which is about an RX 470 or gtx 1060 3gb, give or take 10% performance difference. I have considered upgrading my GPU by cex, but they have their 970s priced at £190 and the RX are ridiculously priced anyway- more expensive at cex than at amazon. I play e-sport titles like overwatch, pubg, CS:GO, but im considering getting rise of the tomb raider. I would happily play this at high settings so long as i get 60fps. I have a 1080p60 monitor, overclocked to 1080p74. I do not believe that there is anything wrong with overclocking GPUs, so I would do that too. In ordinary circumstamces, I wouldn’t bother with cpu upgrades, but i feel like the unlocked K model is being wasted cuz i have a h110. This is what i plan to upgrade to. Plus, now that coffee lake and all is coming out, im sort of annoyed that the 8100 is outperforming my 6600k stock, so I want more threads! This is what i plan to do:
