need help on upgrading gpu,cpu,mobo

well the only upgrade is from the 6700k is to the 8700k...so...
if you have the budget, might as well get the 1070ti/1080 whilst you're at it (obvs the 1070ti is better value-for-money)

My basket at Overclockers UK:
Total: £451.98 (includes shipping: £0.00)
​

My basket at Overclockers UK:
Total: £990.48 (includes shipping: £10.50)

will my noctua cooler work with that motherboard? what do you mean by only upgrade? what about the 7700k etc? do you think a 8700 + 1070 ti > 8600 + 1080 ti ?
 
tamzzy said:
yes


going from 6700k (4c8t) to 8600k (6c6t) is more of a sidegrade


pointless. for all intents and purposes, 6700k = 7700k.


8700k + 1080ti > all

ah ok, what i mean is that in terms of price an 8700+1070ti is about 750, 8600 + 1080 ti is about 940, would there be a noticeable perfomance upgrade with that £200? and if im moving the cooler, do i need some thermal stuff or anything or do i just screw it in?
 
tamzzy said:
well of course. 1080ti is like 1.3-1.4x performance of a 1070ti,
but 8600k processor may bottleneck the 1080ti in a select few games that are highly multithreaded (like bf4)


yes, recommend thermal grizzly cryonaut.

ok, is this a hard thing to do or is it quite easy? i dont remember putting thermal paste on when i installed it.

what do you mean?

the heatsink normally comes with some preinstalled/preapplied already - that's why
but now that you're changing the heatsink onto a new build, you'll need to clean off the old thermal compound and reapply some new thermal compound

and do u think i should wait for 11 series?

who knows when it'll be out? there's speculation, but nothing definite

to apply a heatsink to another cpu, is it risky or anything. assuming nvidia keep up with their past schedule, the 11 series should come out in june / july, but id be a bit dissapointed to buy a 1080 ti just for a new one to come out and the value to drop massively.

ryzen 2nd gen coming out in 2 weeks


rumours (and that's all they are) end of the year z390 +/- 8 core processors

oh great then ill wait for ryzen i guess, is there any info on what they are? i dont want one of those crazy threadrippers for like £1000, hoping they will be about 300-400 max
i also just got an offer:
prebinned 8700k 4.7 (from ocuk, the one you have to pay extra for)
asus z370-e strix motherboard
gigabyte aorus 1080 ti (dont know if its the extreme version yet)
corsair h100i v2
= £1270 including shipping
is that a good offer?

What are your temperatures like because looking at reviews of your cooler shows it not to be very good at all? What case do you have and how is the airflow set up in it? The cooler could be forcing the cpu to throttle which would explain the stuttering. That cooler does not come with paste pre-applied either so if you haven't put any on it there more than likely isn't any. Noctua usually supplies a tube of their own NT-H1 paste with their coolers.

true that. should've thought about the thermal compound when @Bumblebox mentioned about swapping coolers.
did strike me as a wee bit odd, but didn't think too much into it

fractal design r5, 2 140mm at front, 1 140mm exhaust at the back.
idle temp is 35-43
load temp is 80-82 82-88 80-84 80-81
i was using realtemp and it gives 4 values im assuming its for each thread or something, this is while using intel burn test at stress level maximum (result gives success)

this is while at 4.5ghz at 1.327v (the oc isnt causing the stuttering, i get it with and without it)
