I'm looking to upgrade my rig as it’s a few years behind, it currently looks like this:
i5 2500K
AUSUP8Z68-V Pro
16GB Corsair Vengeance
MSI 970 GTX
Will most likely get:
i7 8700K
ASUS PRIME Z370-P
16GB Corsair Vengeance LPX 3000MHz DDR4
MSI GeForce GTX 1070 GAMING X 8GB GDDR5 VR Ready Graphics Card, 1920 Core, 1582 MHz GPU, 1771 MHz Boost, Twin Frozr VI
I’ll keep my SSD’s and Corsair 700W PSU.
A few questions on this however, there isn’t a huge difference in price from the above 1070 to a MSI 1080 Aero, only difference in power is the MSI 1070 has higher clock speeds but a couple of hundred less cuda cores!?
SCAN also does their pre OC’d trio but which has the same RAM, MOBO as above but the i7 is replaced with the i5 but is OC’s to 4.8Ghz, was thinking maybe that too as it would be a little cheaper.
It’s used just for gaming at 1080p and wont be upgrading for another 5-10 years.
I have about £1k give or take, never really liked AMD so wouldn’t entertain their stuff.
Last thing..... HEXUS forum users used to get free delivery on SCAN orders, is that still a thing?
