Hi all

Haven't really upgraded since i got a new graphics card which is a Gigabyte 980TI. My motherboard is a MSI-B75MA-E33 and my CPU is a i7-3770, neither of which are clockable versions and i got both these items in a bog standard tower i bought a good few years back.

Ive got a SSD. What would you guys look at upgrading next or the first thing you would look at upgrading in the near future.

Cheers all.

What monitor and res are you using?, if your games are maxing out graphics then i wouldnt change a thing. The CPU still boosts to 3.9 doesnt it? so it shouldnt be holding ya back too much.

Ive got a Dell G-Sync S2716DG running 2560 x 1440 144Hz. I'm not sure what the CPU boosts to. Any idea?????

Yeah i think ya have a nice system tbh, theres nothing i would change for now unless you wanna start overclocking, then its a case of a new CPU,mobo and ram.

Yeah I have been thinking it would be nice to go for an overclocking machine, but from other posts ive always been told the extra performance wouldn't be worth the money it would cost to invest in a new board CPU and ram.

No money wise it wouldnt be worth it i dont think, i would only do it if ya wanna have a bit of fun overclocking. I would leave it until you need another GPU upgrade in a few years then do the whole system, unless of coarse you start noticing the FPS dropping quite low before then.

Thanks for the advice BluD. Seems a good idea to me.
