So I currently have a i5 4690k with a GTX 1070. I am smashing every game on maxed settings on 1080p apart from CPU intensive games such as GTA V.
I really want to upgrade to a 1440p 28" monitor to have with my 24" 1080p one.
I want to use the 1440p monitor for gaming, productivity and general entertainment whilst the 1080p has my music and hardware monitoring software open.
My full build is:
CPU: i5 4690k overclocked to 4.3GHz (60c max load)
GPU: GTX 1070 overclocked at offset+100MHz clock speed (74c max load with custom fan curve)
RAM: 8GB 1866MHz (2x4)
MOBO: Z97P-D3
SSD: 60GB + 250GB
HDD: 1TB
CPU Fan: Hyper 212 Evo
Which of these components will produce the most problems for 1440p 60Hz gaming?
I know the i5 4690k is falling behind but if I upgrade it to a current model I will be spending around £300 (If I upgrade, I'd prefer to go all out). The GTX 1070 I think is perfect anyway.
Should I upgrade my RAM to 16GB or, upgrade the CPU to a 1151 socket and buy a new mobo with DDR4.
Is that really worth it!?
