Is my build still good for gaming in 2018?

TheZayon · Jul 16, 2018

Hi everyone,

It's been a while since i stopped playing PC games so i haven't upgraded it since 2015.
Right now i am getting back into gaming but i am thinking whether it's worth to upgrade or not.

My current build is:
Case: Noctis 450
Motherboard: Asus VII Hero
CPU: Intel i7 4790k
CPU Cooling: H100I GTX
RAM: 16GB(4x4GB) G Skill PC3-19200 DDR3 2400MHz
GPU: EVGA GTX 980 Ti Hybrid
PSU: EVGA SuperNOVA 850w P2
SSD: Samsung 850 Pro
Monitor: 27" Asus PG278Q ROG Swift 144Hz

I used to be able to play most of the games at 2560x1440 and most of the time above 100FPS and sometimes cap at 144. Will i see a lot of performance drop/difference in new games?

What's your opinions and suggestions?
Thanks

Not much, you have very powerful cpu and beast from gpu. You are still able to play games at 2k on ultra settings with atleast 60 fps

Wouldn’t change anything with a good overclock on the cpu, for now at least.

I went from 3570k to current and wasn’t a massive jump. 980ti is basically equal to a 1070 and still works pretty well.

TheZayon :

Better to keep what you have for now, wait and see what happens once the new GPU's and CPU's come out.

Then decide.

For 1440p that PC is bit lacking compared to its performance at 1080p. But still it can probably hold its ground for another Year. By that time you will have new gen hardware available to choose from.

Even after a year there are two things which can be reused first is PSU and second is Monitor. Even after the upgrade it is better to stick with 1440p instead of upgrading to 4K to enjoy gaming over longer period of time without requirement of upgrade.
