Upgrade Question

[Teabag_Terry2]

Hi guys,

My question is, basically, is it worth upgrading my system (i.e. will I notice a difference).

Current system:

i7-2600k @ 4.8
8Gb Corsair Ram
MSI GTX 980
iiyama 144Hz 1080p monitor.

I want to upgrade to a Benq superwide XR3501 monitor, which is 2560x1080 @ 144Hz but not sure what spec will run games like BF4 and Titanfall at 144Hz? Will this do it:

5960x
32Gb Ram
MSI GTX 980 Ti

Or would I need 2 cards? Many thanks.

I think you'll be fine as is. The CPU and RAM you've listed are overkill in most cases. The 5960X CPU will stand you in good stead if you want to run Ashes of the Singularity and other highly-threaded games, but you'll need a X99 motherboard.

Get the monitor first and see how you fare.
