Hi all!
With the holidays coming, I (along with many others) have decided to upgrade the PC! I wanted to get some opinion though.
My current build is:
Asrock z87 extreme 4
i7 4770k
Gigabyte Gtx 770 4gb
8gb corsair vengeance
650 watt gold (forgot brand)

I currently play games like:
Overwatch
Csgo
League of legends
Fortnite
PUBG

I stream on occasion, but just do it for fun. I also use photoshop, after effects, and sometimes unreal engine

I'm getting another SSD because why not, but I basically wanted to know what I should upgrade. My build is basically a 4th gen build, and I've been considering getting a new motherboard, processor and ram, but In order to save money, I'm thinking that if I just upgrade to an MSI 1060, that I could manage. What do you guys think?


Thanks!

You've got a decent psu so should be able to run 1060 or 1070.

As for gpu and ram, ideally you should get the 1070 and faster ram depending on your budget, I'd go with at least 2400 mhz.

It's ok if you want to get ram later though.

Hi what is the max you are willing to spend in total? To make sure you can upgrade to gtx 1060 could you take a picture of the values on your psu and we can check for you.

Also your ram, is it 1x8 or 2x4 and what speed 2133/2400/2600?

Other than graphics card next thing I would upgrade is ram, but only if you need it, do you ever use past 6gb of ram?

Im selling one of my cars today so I have a decent amount, but would like to keep it under $500.
I took this from my post a while back,
PSU - https://pcpartpicker.com/product/98tCmG/xfx-power-supply-p1650snlb9

Ram - https://pcpartpicker.com/product/KK9KHx/corsair-memory-cmz8gx3m2a1600c9

So I guess it was a bronze psu, not gold.
I planned on upgrading RAM very soon, but didnt know if i should go with a 1060 and new ram, or a 1070 and ram later.
