At the moment I've got a slightly aging system with the following:
2700K @ 4.5 GHz
8 GB DDR3
GTX 970
64 GB M4 boot SDD
The PC still works very well, but is starting to show its age in some of the latest games. I could just drop in a new GPU and some more RAM, but if I was going to go down that route I'd likely rather just do a full system upgrade.
So what do you all recommend for a new system at the moment? I was thinking along the lines of getting a new CPU/board/RAM now and then a new GPU a little further down the line? Budget is pretty flexible, I'm happy to pay more for what is worth it, but obviously the lower the better.
So my general thoughts were:
R7 1700 and clock to ~4 GHz
~£150 motherboard with decent overclocking
256 GB M2 NVME SSD for boot drive
16 GB 3,200 MHz DDR4
I won't need storage drives, PSU, case, optical drives, monitor, OS, mouse, etc. Only the main hardware.
So what does OcUK think?
