What would it be and why ?

My build :
http://ca.pcpartpicker.com/user/Rocktaze/saved/4qB8TW


I play on a 1080p 24'' 144hz 1ms monitor and i don't plan on playing on 2k or 4k monitor anytime soon.
I made this thread cause i'm looking for ideas .


Right now where i stand is :
  • Swap to 4790k and OC to 4.5
  • Buy GTX 1080 next month.

This is not the kind of idea i was looking for ... im looking for upgrade, not an entire new build.
My Mobo is not compatible with 6th gen CPU and changing both Mobo + CPU would be 800$ + and i don't think i would see that much of a difference just for gaming.

Well then do this...

Swap to 4790k and OC to 4.5
Buy GTX 1080 next month.

Don't see the reason for this topic?

/e You could even OC the CPU you have.

I don't have much knowledge on 5th gen CPU and their gaming potential
would it be wiser to SLI 2 x GTX 970 or 2 x 980ti vs wait on new gen?
Watercooling vs my Noctua?
What about m2 ssd?

The GTX 1080 is supposed to beat 2x 980 in SLI. It will use use a LOT less power and run cooler. The GTX 1070 is supposed to beat the Titan X, and at under $400 each, you could SLI two of them.

m2 SSD's are a LOT faster, but even the normal SSDs are fast enough.

Yes an AIO water cooler would be a bit better. Look at Corsair or NZXT.

The best LGA1150 cpu is the 4790k right?
How expensive is a Corsair watercooling?

Just edit your list on PCPartpicker. But the Corsair H100i GTX is like $110 USD.


Here is a site where you can compare benchmarks of various types of hardware. Just click the pic of what you want to compare, then choose 1st and second product and click on compare...
