GPU still using my gtx 980 Ti Sli setup,still runs pretty good so planning on waiting next gen gpus The main use will be gaming, havent checked the new Ryzen,kinda hooked to intel last Pc builds so .... All feedback is appreciated Thx Tony
Pure gaming is better for intel; depends if you have high refresh rat monitor. Ryzen is fine for 60hz. What monitor do you have? What about PSU, SSD, etc? If you don't plan to OC, stick with 2666 memory and 8700.
the things ive listed in my post are things i will replacing ... have you ever seen a pc running without hdd/ssd ? i have 3 ssd and some hdd (storage) that i will re-use
I'm not too knowledgable about these things, but will you really see much of a difference? 3770K seems pretty good and you're keeping your SLi setup. It doesn't seem to me that CPUs have come on that far in the last few years. Guess you get M2 and other functionality? But game-wise? will you see much improvement?
