No Speccy Thread, so here you go.


I built my desktop back in 2012 and haven't touched it since. Only just now is it starting to become noticeably weaker with newer games.

I'm really only interested with 1080p at this point in my life and along with a much better case I'm going to buy a GeForce GTX 1060 6GB.

Is this a good buy for my needs and should I upgrade anything else? Maybe the motherboard?

Thanks for your help guys.

1060 6gb is maybe a bit overkill but it probably shouldn't be bottlenecked by the CPU anyway, future proofing I guess

>>57374101
Not it isn't, it's only more cores, the single core performance is basically identical to the Core2quads if they are OC'd

I had a Q6600 that died, bought an FX 8320, got worse fps in some games and slightly better in others, but overall a little worse. Finally upgraded to a 5820k and holy shit was it an actual upgrade.

FX 8320 is NOT an upgrade from a C2Q, it's a sidegrade at best unless ALL you do is encoding or something which can use the extra cores in the AMD.

I use a lot of Sony Vegas and Hrandbrake transcoding, so it'll be good, I know the 8350 is a shit with a 1252 tdp, but it's almost 4x faster than my current pc without an OC. Plus, it will get rid of my CPU bottleneck on GTA V, the only modern game I play.

I'm waiting for 4K 120/144Hz monitors, hopefully HDR too. CPU is OC'd to 4.7GHz and does a fine job. I almost feel the itch to upgrade but there's really no point, the GPU bottleneck hits hard at 4K.

>>57372343
Wouldn't hurt to boost it up to 16 gigs of RAM.

>>57376741
If you bought a gigabyte Z97 on cheap or something and 4790k it would be sweet, skylake hasn't brought us much.
>>
>>57376801

im kinda on fence between 4790k and 6700k

im going to US soon and since hardware is way cheaper there, im thinking about buying 16 gb RAM and a motherboard + CPU combo

but im kinda illiterate about CPUs and Motherboards, so im clueless
>>
>>57376872
If money is a thing and you want yo go fast, get a Z97 and 4790k, if you have the monet for DDR4 and wanting something a little newer, get the Z170 chipset and 6700k, the 4790 does slightly outbench the 6700k a little.

thanks anon

really appreciate your help

just one thing, can i use my current Motherboard with 4790k?
>>
>>57376938
I think you can because it's the same socket, but you couldn't crank up the multiplier and overclock it, which is what the 4790k is all about.

Why do you ask? I live in New Jersey near 25 miles of preserved land and trails. It's pretty sweet.

That depends of this psu has power connections on it, he should get a 750ti if it's an oem.

the GTX 1050/1050ti have the same power requirement as 750ti plus delivers more future proof performance.

You'd be replacing a CPU made in 2009 with a CPU made in 2012....in 2016, almost 2017.

Wait for Zen or buy Intel, buying a CPU from 2012 is just retarded.
