What to upgrade cpu or gpu

dbanks16391 · Jan 9, 2018

Hi all so im at a cross road and dont know whether to upgrade my gpu from the msi gtx 960 to the msi gtx 1070 gamimg 8g or whether to upgrade my cpu from the intel i5 6500 to the intel i7 7700k can someone hwlp me please

both options works fine, it just that the i5 one will have hard time running on heavy games in high resolution high fps

and upgrading both of them works perfectly

The i5 6500 is still a fine CPU, no need to change that. The jump would be good, but not enough to boost your FPS a lot tbh...

Now a jump from a 960 to a 1070, that's the real deal... Definitely go with it. It's a very nice upgrade.

So, get the GTX 1070

definitely msi gtx 960 to the msi gtx 1070... but ur CPU is not enough for ultra gaming for example Assassins creed origin recommended CPU is i7.

as i'm running this game with i7 4790k stock speed and GTX 1070 full HD + Ultra setting 70FPS or 60 all the time and CPU usage is 100% all the time.

my suggestion is upgrade the GPU first and then go for the CPU later on because upgrading CPU

Just upgrade your GPU because your CPU still very capable at gaming..

Go with the GPU upgrade first. The MSI GTX1070 is a very nice card.

Hi, my friend...based on experience I recommend you upgrade your gpu...I build a low budget PC. Then I decided to upgrade my gpu and Bam!! My PC become a pro gaming PC. I bought mine at the lowest price possible with free and fast shipping. Check here: <removed>
