Gaming PC Upgrade

Fiddlex

Hi I have around 1000 euro to upgrade my current pc and was looking for help on which areas to upgrade. I am gaming at 1440p

My specs are
I5 4670 non k CPU
Msi Gaming g45 z87 mobo
8gb Corsair Vengeance 1600
GTX 780
OCZ 750w modular ps4.
Corsair 300r

Was thinking about upgrading mobo, cpu and gpu. What do you recommend I upgrade?

*edit read that wrong, apologies.

All your specs are fine, a Graphics card is the only worthwhile upgrade you could make. I'll bench a few tomorrow for ya, you won't be spending close to €1000 unless you want to start dick swinging

Just to back up what Digital Solitude said, the only worthwhile upgrade for yourself is a new GPU. Sticking with nVidia you'd be looking at either a GTX 780ti, 970 or 980. Could maybe consider going with AMD, but personally I've found that despite being more expensive, the nVidia cards are that bit better for gaming. If you're considering AMD, you won't go with the R9 290, though they are a bit power consuming.

Wouldn't advise doing a big overhaul right now specially as there is nothing wrong with your current one..

what games are you playing and what performance are you getting right now?

Your specs are fine.

If you have to upgrade something, you could upgrade the 780 to a 980. Try to sell the 780.

Certainly you do not need a new motherboard, that one supports the current generation of processors.

I was thinking about a 980 but I was worried about my i5 being a bottleneck due to it being locked. I said 1000 now cause i have it spare right now.

Any fear of my setup bottlenecking the gtx 980 though?

I'll definitely sell the 780, looking at the 980 but was looking at other upgrades too since I have some spare money right now.

A 980 won't bottleneck that CPU.

You should be able to run GTA V fairly well on that card anyway, I don't think you need to worry about upgrading the CPU for at least 2 years

Your CPU and GPU are better than what's listed there.

I reckon gta is going to be pretty well optimised.

The cheapest option add another 780. Second hand for say 270.

My advice hold out till at least after the games release see how they run. Don't judge your rig on badly optimised games released of late. See what gta got. I have seen some footage of hardline with a 780 on 1440p and it was decent. That was beta.

See a gtx 980 is in limbo. too costly to be appreciated for what it does.

So the verdict seems to be to just upgrade my gpu and wait for the rest.

Anyone recommend a new pc case? I like the corsair 780t but it's fairly pricey. Looking for white preferably aswell lol
