Hi All,
Will have around 850-900 to spend on upgrade.
this is what i have so far
Samsung Evo 250 SSD
Gold PSU 1000W modular
Gigabyte X79 800i
Intel Core i7 3820 3.60GHz @ 4.40GHz
16 GB Ram (Dunno the make)
980TI Geforce.
Acer 4k montior G-sync cant remeber the modal but it awsome.
4 x normal 500GB Hard drive for storage.

So planning to upgrade July/Aug. Just asking advice on what out there as lost a bit of touch since me wee one born and not had time to catch up. So will do some reading soon but hoping you guys can point me in a right directions on what to look and review on. I'm hoping i only need to upgrade below
Mobo
Ram
CPU
Maybe buy their bundle??? is it worth it? Not intrested in OC
Also like to have one of the M1 harddrive as a main drive for windows and maybe games.
Use PC for gaming BF1 and Farcry at the moment.
And i convert a lot off movies when i get them especially 4k and need to add subtitles (Im deaf). Normally stream it to my TV.
Need to last at least 5 years.
Thanks lads
 
Really, you have little need to upgrade right now if gaming is your thing. A CPU upgrade will give you a considerable computational boost, but do you need it?

I think you're better off waiting for the next range of GPUs and spending your money there.

I was on an i7-3770S and only upgraded to an i7-8700 because my PC kept crashing
 
echo the above...wait, unless you find your 4c8t performance unsatisfactory
(if you want a cheap drop-in upgrade, then consider a hex-core ivy-e)
