Upgrade advice help

{T5K}TT · 21 Sep 2016 at 10:24

I have been thinking of upgrading my system and would appreciate any help and advice. I use my pc to game.

Currently, I have a 2500k cpu, Asus P67 Sabertooth motherboard, 8gb of RAM, a 256gb SSD and a 1TB HDD, an MSI 970 GTX and a 850W Corsair gold rated PSU.

It had crossed my mind to upgrade to one of the latest Intel Skylake processors (perhaps a 6600k or 6700k) by means of one of the upgrade bundles (board+cpu+ram+cooler all in one).

What do you think?

2500k is still very good, if just for gaming, id get new monitor or gfx card.

Hi, thanks for the reply.

Yes I was wondering, from my point of view would it be better to upgrade vga card or cpu. My monitor is a 24" Dell.

Thanks for the link and the thread you linked is certainly helpful. A good way forward would be to buy a 1070, and sell my 970 to net some cash back; then look for a better monitor.
