CPU change from i5 to i7

xaka12 · Jun 6, 2018

Right now i have intel core i5-4690K @3.50GHz and im thinking to get the i7-8700K ofc i have to change my motherboard aswell but i want to know if i need to change my GPU i currently have GTX960-4GB.

No....you do not need to change your GPU. Although you will need to reload the drivers after you get everything back together.

Mattp2017 · Jun 6, 2018

You don't have to change your GPU if you don't want to. It will work fine in the new motherboard.

No change on the GPU but you will need new RAM (DDR4).

xaka12 · Jun 6, 2018

DDR3 wont work right?

jay32267 · Jun 6, 2018

Correct. DDR3 won't work.

Should i get 8GB or 16GB for dual monitor with a stream on 2nd monitor and 1st monitor a game running.

Thanks

im a bit of a newbie when it comes to pc's but right now when im playing a game on my monitor and i have a stream on my second monitor i lag ingame when i play so to get rid of that i need a better cpu and not a gpu right?

xaka12 · Jun 6, 2018

@Mattp2017 any recommendations of what DDR4 16 GB's i should get?

Mattp2017 · Jun 6, 2018

xaka12 :

Correct. You would want a better CPU for gaming and streaming.

Mattp2017 · Jun 6, 2018

xaka12 :

What is your motherboard?

xaka12 · Jun 6, 2018

@Mattp2017 wasnt really referring for streaming myself mybad i didnt explain right , i meant watching a stream on my second monitor.

xaka12 · Jun 6, 2018

xaka12 :

You are going to want DDR4 2133MHz memory, well you are going to want DDR4 memory....... the Mhz will depend on which board you get but it should tell you on the specs.

If a Z370 motherboard & 8700K is too expensive I'd recommend the 2600X/B350 motherboard with updated BIOS and 2666+ DDR4 (2x8gb).

xaka12 · Jun 6, 2018

Do you guys think this one is good enough? https://www.ultramalta.com/AORUS-Z370-Gaming-K3--Intel-Z370--Sck1151--DDR4-ATX-_p_1852.html

WildCard999 · Jun 6, 2018

The Gigabyte Aorus boards are good.

Mattp2017 · Jun 6, 2018

xaka12 :

Definitely

xaka12 · Jun 6, 2018

So i might go with that mother board and + 8700K but i need a pair of DDR4

Mattp2017 · Jun 6, 2018

xaka12 :

With that board I would go with this..... https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820232465

xaka12 · Jun 6, 2018

@mattp2017 i dont know if i want to spend more than 200 on rams tbh

Mattp2017 · Jun 6, 2018

xaka12 :

Understandable....... Go with this one then.... https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820232742

Or if you don't mind going a little over 200 this...... https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820236190
