I got a i7 2600k
mobo asus p8z-68v pro
16gb dd3 1600
gtx 970 ftw+
2x 120gb ssd 3tb hd
750w power supply

would like to upgrade cpu/mobo/ram since they like 4 yr old I guess the new i5 would be a upgrade for me
was wondering which mobo I should get and is the ddr4 really worth it?
thanks

anyone can help might buy tonight

What resolution do you play on?

Core i5 6600k
8GB DDR4 2400 Ram
Gaming 5 from MSI or Gigabyte would be fine
CPU cooler since the 6600k doesnt come with one.

Would be around $500

OR

Upgrade to a 6700k for $100 more and a ASUS HERO or Gaming 7 for $50ish more, still around $650, double ram for around $700

I play on 1080p for now gonna get new monitor for chrismas.
thanks upset

I personally don't see the need for DDR4 unless if you wanted to shell out the extra cash. I'd recommend Skylake 6700 and a new motherboard for now (I think most Z170 motherboards support DDR3).

Then once you get a new monitor you can assess your need for a new GPU.

Maybe a larger SSD if you have storage problems. Good deals come and go for the 500GB Samsung's.

NP, 1080p aint bad depending on refresh rate and size.
I mean the gtx 970 can do some impressive 1440p numbers.



I agree thats why i left the $200 room for other options. I got the 250GB samsung for $77 on sale. Always deals on them.

US 500 build is closer to 700CAD
use ca pcpartpicker instead of us

i5 6600
asus z170 sabertooth
8 gb ram corsair
corsair h80i

no need really worthless upgrade cpu cooler?
overclock that 2600k to 4.8

spending money for slight increase in frames
when more dx12 games come about you will see less cpu bottlenecking
