Upgrading my MB CPU and Ram?

koperan · Dec 10, 2017

Hello so I'm in search of a new motherboard cpu and Ram.. My budget is $600 and I don't know much about these new cpus and motherboards... Can someone recommend a good combo that would work with my current components?

These are the parts I want to keep from my current pc

COOLER: Cooler Master MasterLiquid Lite 120 (push–pull configuration)
GPU: EVGA GeForce GTX 670 FTW+ 4gb... GOT GTX 1060 6GB on its way in mail
PSU: CORSAIR CX650M
HDD: SAMSUNG 850 EVO SSD 500GB

Thank you

What is your current cpu/mobo/ram?
You probably wouldn't want to upgrade to something of less performance.

i5 8600K coffe lake processor
2x8gb of ddr4 memory (faster the better: at least 2666MHz cl16 , ideally 3000MHz cl15)
1151 socket motherboard with Z370 chipset (older chipsets won´t work with coffe lake processor) ...

something like this for example:

you can save some money on the motherboard to get under 600 dollars if you want .

well ideally you would want to upgrade to i7 8700K from your old processor but your budget won´t allow for it ...
but even with i5 8600K you will have a better gaming experience than with your old cpu .
paired with gtx 1060 6gb you will be able to play most modern games at 1080p with very high/ultra presets .

What's the primary use of your system?
If it is for gaming, then just upgrade your graphics card to gtx 1080. Cpu upgrade will not give you that much of a performance improvement.
