Looking at upgrading motherboard and cpu, need new ddr4 ram with it. Current board and cpu heavily showing their age.
Current Specs:
AMD athlon x4 860k
Asrock FM2 A58M-VG3+
Cheap ddr3
850 watt gold rated PSU
I have a 1070 already and this CPU I'd assume is heavily throttling it. (1070 bought pre-mining craze) Got it for $374 which saved me some money for this upgrade.
Budget of $650-$700
Looking at:
i7-7700k
Asrock z270 Extreme4
G.Skill Ripjaws V 16gb DDR4 3200
Also considering moving to the 212 evo for cooling. I have a cheap asetek AIO that is 3 years old but fear leaks and don't want this new system ruined.
With the ram prices dropping I think now is getting to be a decent time to buy. Any recommendations or changes on what I should get instead/wait for would be highly appreciated.
Is this a decent build/worth upgrading to?
Final Expected Build
i7-7700k
Asrock z270 Extreme4
G.Skill Ripjaws V 16gb DDR4 3200
EVGA 1070 SC GAMING ACX 3.0 Black Edition, 8GB
