Please could I have some tips on my system. It's 2 years old now and I am seeking some tips to speed it up and keep it modern.
I have an i7 5930k cooled with a Corsair All-In-One, 64GB RAM, Nvidia 108ti and a Corsair PCI-E SSD. All running Windows 10. I have a 27" 2560x1440 resolution.
Within some games, namely Total War: Warhammer 1 (and 2), Counterstrike:GO and a few others, there is occasional system lag. I like to play on maximum settings, so this could well be why.
What would be the best system for gaming that I could make currently?
Would an i9 *really* be an advancement, or will it slow me down, as i've seen benchmarks that suggest older i7 cores to be far better with games, as the clock speed is higher, even if the core count is fewer?
I'm keen to stick to a single GPU to avoid any issues with tearing/microstutter, or compatibility. Re-using old system parts is not an issue as I am fortunate enough to have saved enough to rebuy everything required.
TIA
