Hello everyone,
Ok so I started to look at my current rig of which certain items are reaching the end of their life. It's got plenty of poke for the likes of Overwatch on 'Ultra' settings but struggles with any settings above 'Medium' in Elite Dangerous which I play using an Oculus Rift CV1. Originally I ran an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 960 but upgraded a few days ago to an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080. That's all fine but my CPU and RAM and falling short greatly. My current spec is as follows:

Originally I ran an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 960 but upgraded a few days ago to an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080. That's all fine but my CPU and RAM and falling short greatly. My current spec is as follows:
- Windows 10 Pro 64-bit
- 8GB RAM (GeIL EVO Leggera 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 PC3-17000C11 2133MHz Dual Channel Kit (GEL38GB2133C11DC))
- Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-3570K CPU @ 3.40GHz (4 CPUs), ~3.8GHz
- Gigabyte Z77X-D3H Intel Z77 (Socket 1155) DDR3 Motherboard
- Corsair 650watt PSU
- Upgrade the current CPU to an i7 and the RAM to the maximum the board allows which I believe is 32gb using a better brand more suited to gaming.
- Replace the motherboard, CPU and RAM with new kit.
