Hi guys,
I am contemplating a new PC build but wanted to know what you guys thought. What parts do you think are holding me back the most right now? Can I get away with recycling my GPU on a new build or do you think that should be upgraded as well? And lastly, how much of a performance in gaming do you think I would notice on average by getting a current gen CPU (I realize it also depends on the game).
Current Specs: Aorus GTX 1060 6GB, 8GB DDR3 1600Mhz Ram, 600W Corsair Bronze + PSU, i5-3570k (currently not overclocked), ASrock Z77 Mobo
Approximate Purchase Date: Next 3-6 months
Budget Range: $ 800-1200 USD
System Usage from Most to Least Important: Gaming
Are you buying a monitor: No
Parts to Upgrade: Everything, unless you guys think I can get away with recycling some parts.
Do you need to buy OS: No
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: Amazon, Newegg, Tigerdirect
Location: Southern CA, USA
Parts Preferences: Intel / Nvidia
Overclocking: Maybe
SLI or Crossfire: No
Your Monitor Resolution: 1920x1080
Additional Comments: Don't need anything flashy, just want to be able to run games on High settings again.
And Most Importantly, Why Are You Upgrading: Games starting to feel sluggish, needing to turn down graphics.
Thanks!
