Time for an upgrade or several

[MalakiUK]

I'ts that time, you beautiful people. I need to upgrade my pc so it can handle the new influx of games. Atm it'll be used for fortnite but eventually BF5 etc. Hit with your suggestions

Current bits in the siggy.

EDIT: figured id throw this in, my GFX card died so that'll definitely need changing, and i kind of want to get a modular PSU eliminate the messy cables in there now. If we can get it to run sexy 4k, that'd would be aces but is by no means mandatory

What's your screen res and Hz?

Also what's your budget ?

Hard to recommend new intel core till next one comes out . Is a cracking Ryzen 2700x bundle but have to consider second hand i7 ?

GPU would be main and first upgrade

I have an LG 27UD69P-W 27" that i originally bought for my X1X. I believe its a 3840x2160 @60hz. Don't really have a budget in mind tbh.

Will drive .4k monitor but not at a solid 60fps to reach screens max 60hz refresh. Even more powerful gtx 1080ti struggles in some games, but that why monitor had Freesync, and frame drops should be smoothed out.
Included tier 1 PSU with enough juice

My basket at Overclockers UK:

• 1 x Gigabyte Radeon RX VEGA 64 WindForce OC 8GB HBM2 PCI-Express Graphics Card= £499.99
• 1 x Bitfenix Whisper M Series 750W 80 Plus Gold Modular Power Supply= £99.95

Total: £611.04 (includes shipping: £11.10)


Nice bundle here
My basket at Overclockers UK:

• 1 x AMD Promo Bundle - AMD Ryzen 7 2700X, Gigabyte X370-Gaming K7, Team Group RAM *FREE 480GB SSD* = £679.97
  • Memory Capacity:Team Group Dark Pro "8Pack Edition" 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4 PC4-25600C14 3200MHz Dual Channel Kit - Black/

Total: £690.47 (includes shipping: £10.50)​

​

But would honestly try the GPU upgrade first, then see with incoming 9700k/9900k how prices are etc​

Run memtest on it , and check the BSOD error code

If it helps - 3 free games

Also @EsaT should be able to point to good range of PSU . I think the Whisper is Tier 1
