Upgrade for my 3770.

adm0705 · 6 Jul 2017 at 11:21

Hi guys,

My current spec:

i7 3770
Gigabyte basic bitch mobo
8gb 1600mhz ram
600w PSU
GTX 1070 FE
1 x 280gb samsung SSD
1 x 120gb crappy SSD
1 x 1tb HDD
"Thermaltake Core V21 Micro ATX" case

I am looking into upgrading my CPU, which means upgrading my MOBO, Ram and possibly PSU and case.

I like the idea of the 7800X but not sure which combination would work best with my GTX 1070. Would you suggest I wait for CoffeeLake? Or bite the bullet now and get a 7800X?

Which cpu, mobo, ram combo would you guys suggest?

Can't recommend anything without a thorough as possible description of everything you will be doing with the machine

I am currently doing a Engineering degree so will be doing CAD work from time to time. But majority is gaming, PUBG, Dota, CSGO- Would like to play 4K games but would need a monitor too, as atm I have a Benq XL210T for FPS gaming.

If the majority of what you do is gaming, would you consider a 7700K over a higher core count? People have been talking about games using more cores for years but I don't see it happening for a while yet.
