Hello,
I got my first pc build, for 3 years now. And I would like to upgrade one of the pc parts.
reason why?:
My old build is:
CPU Intel i5-4460 3.2Ghz
MOBO Asrock H97 Anniversary
SSD Samsung 850 EVO - 120GB
GPU Gigabyte Geforce GTX 960 - G1 gaming 2GB GDDR5
HDD Caviar Blue 1 TB 3.5" 7200 rpm SATA 6Gb/s 64MB
RAM HyperX Fury - DDR3 1600Mhz CL10 module black 8GB
PSU XFX 650W power supply
PC case Zalman Z3 Plus black
*Some issues I might think*
1) Idle pc is around 20% or floating even higher cpu usage, according to task manager.
2) Having a single RAM stick with 8GB instead 2x4GB? Or should I buy the exact same one?
3) Before I always reached 60 FPS on max settings playing Dota 2 and now its just floating between 30-40 fps. Even decreasing settings does not help slightly.
4) The same story with League of Legends...I don't get the same results.
5) And one of my favorite games: Total Warhammer 1 & 2. I get like 10 fps during a cutscene, and 30 fps on lowest settings on the world map of the game...it's frustrating. Loading screen takes forever to load
6) I got all three games on the Hard drive disk E: but a few years ago it didn't matter at all.
Things I did so far trying to fix my computer:
1) I ran a fully completed virus scanning
2) Using CCleaner
3) cleaning the SSD/HDD drive
4) Changing the thermal paste for my cpu
5) Removing the dust from the fans of my case
When I have a whole day left, I just play intensive games such as Total Warhammer 1 & 2 for maybe like 8 hours or longer. But I also use the pc for my study as Desktoppublisher work.
Using Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator and InDesign. Would like to improve the parts for all of these and some future work as web-site design.
I'm thinking to upgrade my i5 to an i7-8700k (aswell as future games/work and future proof)
but that means I'm suppose to upgrade majority of the parts which is no problem.
And when I go for i7-8700k, starting building from there would be an idea?
Please let, me know what I should do.
Would love to hear your opinion & advice,
Thanks in advance.
