My Build... what to upgrade next?

Hydroxyl · 21 May 2017 at 19:14

Hi!
I've recently build by PC (I have some experience in it, so everything is working fine), but I'm thinking about upgrade. What should I upgrade first? Which is the slowest/least efficient part in my PC? How do you think? I'm actually thinking about going into 4k gaming but i'm not sure is my PC good enough.

About my PC:
CPU: i7-7700
CPU Cooler: Cryorig H7
RAM: HyperX Fury Black 2400mHz 2x8GB
Motherboard: Gigabyte Z170XP-SLI
GPU: EVGA GeForce 1060 SC 6GB

P.S. Don't mind the mess in my room, that's what you get when you have two cats.

What games do you play and do you own a 4K monitor?

Looks a nice system...

It works fine, but I'm thinking about 4k gaming. So I'm thinking that I need to buy at least 1070. For anyone who noticed, I choose 1000W PSU because I want to go on SLI soon.

GPU is the obvious upgrade path 1080 perhaps? or wait for Vega.

Hydroxyl · 21 May 2017 at 20:29

I do not have a 4k monitor yet, but before I buy it, I want to make sure that my PC will handle it. And 1080 is pricy, and I think that 2x 1070 is more efficient than 1x1080. Besides, I can buy one 1070 and after I get some coins, buy another.

You could do that but SLI sucks and should be avoided

Hydroxyl · 22 May 2017 at 02:53

Why do you say that? Everyone I've ever asked told me, that SLI can boost your card 2.5x.

Doubtful. SLI comes with its own set of problems, heat, game/system support etc.

When it works, it's ok but a single card solution is better, although it already sounds like you've made your mind up?

If you want good performance at 4K, you're going to need a 1080TI or Titan XP. 2x 1070's isn't really going to give you what you want.

Didn't make my mind, I'm always opened for opinions, that's why I've asked. I need to dig deeper to see some benchmarks or something to actually see what's better for me.

Sli is one big ball ache.

Avoid.

Hydroxyl · 23 May 2017 at 22:59

Allright. It's 1080ti then

Thanks!

Anyone have this one? Can you tell me if it's gonna work properly?

Or should I save some money and buy 1080TI?

HoneyBadger · 24 May 2017 at 08:13

If you're going 4K, you'll need a 1080Ti.

IvanDobskey · 24 May 2017 at 08:45

A 1070 will play games ok at 4k, but be prepared to drop the settings a little.

If you want high settings at 4k then a 1080ti is the only way forward.
