Hello All
not new to gaming or PCS or overclockers. But have never asked a question in this forum before. I am looking into whether it is worthwhile upgrading my pc i built back in 2014. Current spec is as following:
-Gigabyte Z97X-Gaming 7 -
-Devils Canyon Core i7 4790K
-Corsair Vengeance Pro Red 16GB (2x8GB) DDR3 PC3-19200C11 2400MHz Dual Channel Memory Kit (CMY16GX3M2A2400C11R)
-Asus GeForce GTX 970 DirectCU II OC Strix 4096MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card
-Corsair Force GT 120GB 2.5" SATA 6Gbs Solid State Hard Drive (CSSD-F120GBGT-BK)
-Western Digital Caviar Black 4TB SATA 6Gbs 64MB Cache - OEM (WD4003FZEX) HDD
I use the PC mainly for gaming with the occasional web surfing, plus office. there is no affiliation to any brand or manufacturer my end. I only used Intel as its what I know. Half me is scared to try another as so many people tell you different things. Graphics card I am looking to get a 3070 next year. I dont think I need an I7 and was looking at an I5 or equivalent AMD
Main thing i know I want is a smaller case as I went for a full tower case that was on sale last time at about £50 and i want one I can fit on my desk to save floor space
Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated
